Is it common for a Mass Air Flow Meter to go so quickly??? ('01 A8L, 57K mi.) Any input would be great. Thanks.

 

I just replaced mine on my 01 A8L with 75K on it. My mechanic said it is very commen for them to go bad. Kind of sucks.

 

Thanks for the input.....it does kinda suck.

 

I have a 2000 A8 and it went out about 12 months ago at about the 42,000 mile mark. It took a couple of months to figure out what was wrong. The car needed about 2 minutes to warm up and it misfired a lot. Apparently it's a pretty common problem.

 

How much did the MAF replacement cost?

 

The part was ~$140 w/ 30 mins. labor.....so close to $200. Kind of pricey....but that's Audi Service...no Mom n' Pop shops.
