FAQs 

Q1: What vehicles and engines is this MAF sensor compatible with?
A1: This mass airflow sensor (0986280206) fits a variety of Audi and VW models, including Audi A4 (B5) 1.8, A6 (C5) 1.8, and VW Passat 3B / 3B5 with 1.8 engines and Quattro / Syncro variants. Always cross-check the OEM number (06B133471, 0280218013 etc.) to confirm compatibility.

Q2: Is this an OEM, aftermarket, or genuine MAF sensor?
A2: This is offered as an aftermarket / replacement MAF sensor built to meet or exceed OEM standards. While not from the original brand, its performance and fitment are intended to match the original sensor. GlobalCarPart lists it as aftermarket but with OEM-level quality.

Q3: What are the main signs a MAF sensor is failing?
A3: Look out for rough idling, poor acceleration, engine stalling, increased fuel consumption, or a check engine light (often code P0100–P0104). A faulty sensor distorts the air/fuel ratio, causing drivability issues.

Q4: How difficult is installation — can I do it myself?
A4: Installation is relatively straightforward: disconnect the battery, remove air intake components to access the sensor, unplug the old unit, fit the new sensor in the same orientation, tighten bolts (to spec), and reconnect wiring. However, if unsure, it’s safer to use a qualified technician.

Q5: Why should I buy this MAF sensor online instead of in a local shop?
A5: Online shopping expands your options for better pricing (especially during MAF sensor sale events), more stock, and UK-wide delivery. You can also compare MAF sensor UK price or filter by “MAF sensor in UK shop” to find local alternatives. Plus, you can refer to buyer reviews and compatibility tools.

Q6: What warranty or return policy is offered?
A6: We have a 60-day returns policy for most new, unopened items. Also, they provide a 12-month warranty. Read our Warranty Policy & Return Policy.
