S4 1.8T? Where's that available? A B5 with a 1.8T is an A4.

I understand that. My point is, an "S4 1.8T" isn't a car. An S4 has a 2.7T V6 - that is a major part of what makes it an S4. I don't know if the two engines use the same MAF - compare the part numbers. If they're the same, then it will work.

you more than likely purchased a maf from a guy with a4 1.8t is who is tool enough to stick s4 on the back and try to play it off to stupid people and there are those that believe

oh and btw, if your car is not the same year, or at least same engine code, the might might not and probably won't work
