Post by: Xtrhardcore on 10 January 2013, 23:29: What's the plug thing on the side of the air box on an 8v 2.0? Searched but not finding much, anyone got a part number?
Not the MAF but the one actually connect to the right side of the airbox?

Post by: Leebob on 12 January 2013, 12:18: No probs.Went out and got it off my car this morning.The writing was so tiny but just managed to read it without a magnifying glass lol.That part no was for the connector that connects to the sensor itself not he sensor which is a different part no.Ecp do sell these I think and possibly gsf too.
