You may just have a dirty MAF sensor, spray brake clean through the sensor and clear the code, run it a few days to see if the code comes back.

hi from the uk the location of mass air flow sensor on x type jag is as follows==it is on the r/h/side of the air filter cover with jaguar embossed on top? this sensor is just prior to the intake hose that connects to the motorised throttle body from filter connections underneath it to unplug and meter is held by two screws ?if memory serves ? may i suggest you remove the large hose and use a little wd40 or similar to clean /lubricate the throttle butterfly in throttle body throat at this point so as to prevent future sticking upsetting of idling ? hope this helps ?

SOURCE: Mass Air Flow problem

The M.A.S. is in the top of the metal tube between the air filter box and the intake manifold. It will have a wire connected to it and it is held in by 2 screws. This is an easy replacement and should take no more than 5 to 10 minutes, assuming you are taking your time.

I have a 2006 vw jetta 2.5, it codes for mass air flow sensor, temp control sensor, random misfire. I replaced the mass air flow sensor and temp control sensor and it still has a bad miss and is stalling...

Change the timing belt. My "educated" guess is that the belt has lost a couple teeth and jumped timing. I got the same codes for a Nissan frontier and when I took the belt off, it was missing several teeth in more than one spot.

I have 2000 VW Jetta 1.8 turbo, my car stumbles on acceleration, but run smooth at idle. I removed the air intake from the mass airflow sensor and the car died. Is the turbo bad or do I have another...

If you remove the mass air flow sensor then the car is getting to much air and the reason that it is dying is that the ECU is set for the engine to run with a specific air to fuel ratio, and if you have removed the breather element. or air filter then that can cause the slow or sluggish acceleration.

I am having trouble locating the air filter on my 2008 vw jetta.

How to change air filter

1. Unplug the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.
2. Undo the spring clips and pull out the turbo inlet connector. 3. Remove the two T-25 screws on the air snorkle as shown below. 4. Remove the engine cover by pulling up HARD where indicated by the green circles in the photo below. 5. DO NOT APPLY ANY FORCE where indicated by the red diamonds in the photo below. 6. If it's cold weather, make sure the engine is warm so that the rubber grommets warm up and are flexible enough to come off. Cold, brittle plastic and stiff grommets will lead to a broken airbox/cover even if you otherwise do everything correctly. 7. Pull up on the rear driver's corner (near the battery box) first, then the rear corner where the MAF sensor is, then the fronts.

Replacing mass air flow sensor in 97 vw jetta

If the mass flow sensor was bad, the check engine light should of came on giving off an engine code. To remove the mass flow, disconnect battery neg cable, then pull of the wire harness and pull out mass. You will probably have to remove the air intake hose.
