I know this sounds like a stupid question but I can't locate my MAF... I know it is supposed to be located on the right side in front of the air filter housing? Do you have to access it from under the car?? (I have a 2001 A4 B5 1.8t)

 

in the airbox, no acess from under the car

 

Its what the filter is attached to below. If you car has the airbox still, its bolted to that

 

As in the under side of the air filter cover? How do you remove it? can I clean it without removing it?

 

My car still has an air box... and I know what a MAF is supposed to look like but am still having problems locating it... I will take a picture of my air box and attach...

 

Its the black cylinder thing in the air box that has a sensor in the middle of it. There is wiring attatched to it from outside/top of the air box. A half wit could find it.

 

wow, u still cant find it? did u atleast take the airbox off?

 

1point8 I hear you... and I have replaced MAF sensors in other cars... But swear a MAF does not exist in this car:-) Have you ever heard of a mod that provided for removal of the MAF? The Power Transistor that is supposed to be located on the top of the air box is missing also??

 

I took the cover off the air box and did not see anything that looked like a MAF (on the underside of the cover... I will tear it apart again in the morning...

 

Im not sure if i should be said you cant find it of if you dont actually have one. When its clearified, then ill know how to react
