After developing a MAF problem, I started the hunt for a new MAF. In the end I searched ebay for the part # 0281002184 and I found something interesting......

The 2.6 MAF on the veccy is also the same part number and part as one found on some transit vans. I know this may not be much use to most people, however for testing or in my case price reasons, the transit MAF is a direct replacement. Also might make scrap yard trips easier!

Please don't ask me which vans have one of these on, I don't know. All I know is I searched for the part number, found one from a trany van, and it works well.

Hope this helps (someone)!

Uhm, good find

[sandune]

Yes great find

Yep, standard off the shelf items used by a few manufacturers.

The secret to finding MAF's is to;

1) Search ebay for the Vx part code (search listing contents)
2) From the listing get the manufacturers MAF reference
3) Search against the manufacturers reference (again search listing contents).

Thats a worth while addition! Also I believe the 3.2 MAF is the same part number.

And you can get them new for reasonable cash on ebay (some of the mega cheap ones should be avoided)

I should add that the 2.6 and 3.2 are the same part

I was hoping someone else would have asked by now but no, looks like it's down to me.....

What's a MAF then?  :question

[Entwood]

Mass Air Flow sensor

The engine needs to know how much air (as in number of molecules or mass/weight) is entering the engine in order to add the right amount of fuel.

The weight (mass) of air changes continualy with temperature and humidity .... "wet" air weighs a lot less then "dry" air ... which is why when the atmospheric pressure is falling the weather is getting worse ... it contains more moisture ..

I will also add....

The 2.6 and 3.2 MAFs have a temp sensor as well. Apparently no temp sensor on 2.5/3.0 MAF.

Seperate on the 2.5/3.0.....and often a good way of telling the MAF on a 2.6/3.2 is buggered (look at the air temp sensor live data)

Hi,
I found this thread interesting, if only to check on ebay to see the great difference in price for what appears to be the same item.

I followed Marks DTM advice and checked the IAT showing on live data and on my motor it shows variation from 29 to 38 deg C according to engine revs with a steady outside ait temp of 10 deg C

I presume from this that there is a fault with the MAF although the car seems to me to be running perfectly OK.

Should I fix something that appears to not need fixing??
