No idea where to buy one from sorry, but I wouldn't leave it unplugged if you plan on driving the car. From what I understand the MAF (Mass Air Flow sensor) tells the ECU how much air is coming into the car, which in turn lets it decide how much petrol to put in to get the best mix. If you leave it unplugged and drive the car, you could end up f*cking up you engine.

Getting a maf for a non-diesel mk5 is near impossible online.
You will have to suck up and go to your dealer for it.

Try these guys:- http://stores.ebay.co.uk/vwaudirecyclers

I sourced a throttle body from them for my GTI for about £80, a few months ago.

VW RRP on the part is over £300, if not more, IIRC.

Worth an email, surely?

Be careful on fleabay, there are a huge number of non-official MAFs in circulation - if you need one, bite the bullet with VW or get someone in the trade to source one via TPS.

What sort of postage costs would one be looking at?
