Default WTF happened to my MAF plug??

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/3561/maf_plug.jpg"></center><p>There's bits and pieces missing from the red plastic piece (not worried about that). But what struck me as odd is that there is a piece that connects with the prong missing (far right in the picture). Guess this is why my car is throwing MAF-Signal too low (P0102) codes.......among others.

Sigh....last person to touch the plug/sensor was the dealership when they replaced the MAF a few months ago. First they changed the Tamper proof screws on it from 6 point to 5, and now I see this. Wonder if they'll own up to this or not. But then, why did it take this long for the car to throw codes?

Has anyone ever had to replace this plug? If so, how much did it run? And is it a DIY thing?

If its not one thing with this car.....its the other.

Still love it though

Umm, you have a few month old bosch maf on a stage 2+ car? It's probably just dead again.

Default If that's the case, I'd look into replacing the EGTS's as well....

I've seen cars that had bad EGTS's, and were destroying the MAF's, since they're on the same 5v reference circuit, and both failures portray similar symptoms.

Default You have a bad maf. There is no extra pin in the harness and the red thing locks the pins into the

connector.

Thanks for straightening me out Nick!
