I'm in need of a MAF for a 2000 C4. Can someone direct me as to where I can locate one? I don't want to go to the dealer because I know their prices are crazy. Also, once I get one, is it just a simple replacement, or does it have to be calibrated. thank you

You'll need a Torx security bit (available at practically any hardware or home improvemeent type store) to do the R&R.

 

Are you sure you need a new MAF? Did you try cleaning it first?

 

Sunset in Oregan had them on special offer on their web site.
I get the link on the Renntech website with the "porsche parts at cost" button

 

Yes, I've cleaned it twice. The first time I triggered a 1128 & 1130. I cleaned it and the codes went away. I noticed about 900 miles after cleaning it, I started getting a pms and anti-lock lights started triggering on the dash. I cleaned it again and now I'm getting 1126 & 1133. I'm thinking about going the new MAF before taking it in.

 

Just make sure you get the correct part number. What I discovered was that they introduced a new updated MAF which is great other than it requires Porsche to update your engine management for a cost. I did eventually find the correct older part which cost slightly more but required no update. I did clean my MAF and it has worked great for the past 250 miles so I have a MAF for when it eventually goes out.

 

What tools do you need to update the engine management for the new MAF?

 

The Porsche computer system so ie your dealer has to do it.

 

Two fiddy (with e-gas) at AutohausArizona,

I think you might need the tamper proof torx bit and not the standard torx bit, but don't quote me on that.

I printed out the cheapest price on the internet then took it to my local Porsche parts department where they matched the price.
