BOSCH 0281002956 MAF Sensor — for Audi and VW TDI Models

Engine hesitation, rough idle, poor fuel economy, black smoke from the tailpipe, or a check engine light — these are common signs that your Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor may be failing. The MAF sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and sends this data to the Engine Control Unit (ECU). The ECU uses this information to calculate the precise amount of fuel to inject for optimal combustion. A faulty sensor can cause an incorrect air-fuel mixture, leading to reduced performance, increased emissions, and potential engine damage .

This is an original equipment-quality Bosch MAF sensor (part number 0281002956). It is a 100% new, not remanufactured, sensor and housing calibrated and sold together, ensuring precise sensor reading and optimal engine performance . This is the same quality part used as original equipment by Audi and Volkswagen.
