I've checked prices today with 6 Audi dealers in So. Cal. and have been told the following information about replacement MAF prices for my 98.5 A4 1.8TQ:

~$90 for a "rebuilt" MAF sensor which one dealer told me was really new but being sold as rebuilt

~$400 for a "new" MAF sensor

I was also told that prior to VIN# 080000 (according to one dealer) and prior to VIN# W040 (according to another dealer) was a different part number for which there is no rebuilt MAF available and the new ones are ~$400.

So my question is: What is the difference between the "rebuilt" and the "new" MAF other than $300? Also, is there really a difference between the older VIN MAF and the newer VIN MAF for the 98 1.8T?

Finally, where can I get a cheaper new MAF than the $385 best dealer price quote I got?

Well i solved my MAF, but getting rids of it all together.
I have one New Maf available and one used, both perfect working order.

Nobody can tell you what the differences are between the two other than Bosch.

Make sure they're the same part # as yours otherwise the gain on the sensor will be different.
