Default Purchased new MAF ... is it normal to have to "return" the OEM back to dealership?
While out of town, I noticed an Audi Dealership about 1 mile from where I am located right now. Shot over to Continental Audi in Naperville, IL this morinng and picked up a refurb MAF for 78.00. Funny thing... the Parts Department is having me send in my MAF as soon as I replace it...

Thoughts?

Yep. There is a core charge. Part costs like 2x as much if you don't turn in the old one.

not true. "remanufactured" MAF's from the dealer require you to return the used one.

Default hmmmm. was never told that when i bought mine from DCH Audi a month ago.
they couldn't care less. also, ECS is less expensive with no mention of core return...i bought my spare there.
