For a JDM MY98 v4 STi.

Local dealer are looking in to it for me but I fear they may come back with a rather excessive price. API are also looking in to it, but in the mean time is there anyone else that comes 'Scoobynet recommended' that will be able to supply the sensor at a reasonable price?

Not too worried about fitting, I have a tame mechanic who should be able to do it for me if need be

Cheers

I could be wrong, but I think the sensor for that model comes along with the entire housing - which is £200 plus. How about breakers?

Sorry for my ignorance, but I've wanted to know for a while now. What is a MAF? What does MAF stand for.

Ouch, that's an expensive MAF sensor Finding one at a breakers would be fantastic, but I have no idea where to start looking - I'd imagine it will be pretty hard to find a low mileage JDM STi v4 kicking around... Any ideas where to start? Thanks.

By model, I meant year. It's possible that the MAF is the same on JDM wrxs. As far as I'm aware, pre-99 classics have the sensor as part of the housing, and 99-00 have them separate.

Why isn't anyone with more knowledge piping up to get me out of the ****?

Still in need of assistance here. Bubba is right about the housing for the sensor, all comes as one part on this model at £230 all in

Any help finding one at a breakers or somewhere that might be able to supply one at a competative price would be really appreciated...

Has anyone ever tried to replace the sensor element?

Spirit

Cheers for the links, Scoobybits were very helpful but tell me that the MAF sensor for this particular model are like gold dust... They recommended Grade A who sold their last one this morning.... BUT cityautosalvage think they have one - have emailed them a picture of mine and waiting to hear back from them. They say it's off a very low mileage crashed STi which sounds good (assuming they are telling the truth )

So... What do people think I should do, go for the second hand one at £120 delivered which is the slightly more risky option, or bite the bullet and get a brand new one from API at £230 + delivery?

Also one more question - once the new MAF is fitted do I need to do anything to the ECU such as resetting it, or will it just accept the new one without any instruction at all?

Thanks for the help chaps.
