Air mass meter sensor

[bermuditis]

Does anyone have a good source for maf #0 280 128 009/ 996 606 124 00? I have searched everywhere and only found people selling them for almost $500.00. Any ideas would be welcomed. Thanks.

Have you tried Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)?

[bermuditis]

Yes, they were one of the most expensive quotes I've gotten.

For a Porsche part - no way.

Don't confuse Porsche part prices with Bosch part prices. Dealers are only allowed to Porsche replacement parts.

This one's about $250

They're kind of hard to come by because they were obsoleted twice over.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but have you tried cleaning the old one with some electronic contact cleaner?

Our 2002 986 had some trouble with the MAF sensor, but after removing it, giving it a careful cleaning and reinstalling it, the problems went away.

That was over a year ago with no further problems.

Yes and it worked for a while. I used CRC MAF cleaner but it's dead now. Need to replace. I have a company that will rebuild it for $180 plus $30 for shipping. I just don't know if I trust a rebuild and the turn around time is long. I found one on partsquick.com for $238, but they are back ordered. Thanks for the advice though, you guys have been a great resource for info on my 2000 Boxster 2.7.

Unfortunately it is the wrong one. It is the new version which requires a trip to the dealer to reprogram my ecu.

I got one from a Calif. shop with a one year warranty for $152 used.

I presume you have read

as it may still not be the MAF. But assuming it is, there are tables that cross reference Bosch part numbers and give DIY guidance.

Yes. MAFs are $$$$ but not $500.

Since you have an older car and the 124 part, be sure and pay attention to the reprogramming the DME part pof the instructions
