Fitting a 3" maf sensor .. Help ?
« on: 17 July 2012, 16:11 »
Hi
Just wondering does the s3 maf fit straight onto a golf mk4 1.8t agu ??
Or does the plug have to be changed ?
Thanks

I think you have to remove the sensor and swap it out with your 1.8t one.

Thats what Iv done with my vr6 one.

Right so I need a vr6 maf and an agu maf ( as I don't have either ) then ??
I take it I just un screw the 2 screws by the plug on both and then put the agu sensor on the vr6 maf ?

Also isn't the vr6 maf the same as an s3 or lcr maf ??

how come you don't have either? Just use your current one with a VR6 housing

and no they aren't the same

You need a 2.75ID one.  WAs sensors over so 1.8T sensor is in VR6 housing.
