The Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor with OEM number 06J-906-461-B (also listed as 06J906461B) is a verified Genuine OEM direct replacement for Volkswagen and Audi vehicles equipped with 2.0L TSI/TFSI engines. Manufactured by Hitachi to Volkswagen Group's exacting specifications, this sensor precisely measures air mass entering the engine for optimal fuel injection.

If your MAF sensor is failing, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- Check Engine Light (CEL): Illumination on dashboard with lean/rich fuel mixture codes
- Rough Idle or Stalling: Engine runs unevenly at idle or stalls, especially when cold
- Hesitation or Surging: Noticeable hesitation during acceleration or surging at steady speeds
- Reduced Fuel Economy: Decrease in MPG as ECU cannot optimize air-fuel ratio
- Failed Emissions Test: Elevated hydrocarbon or carbon monoxide levels
- Black Smoke from Exhaust: Indicates excessively rich fuel mixture
Compatible Brands: Volkswagen (VW), Audi, SEAT, Škoda

Replacing a MAF sensor requires care and attention to detail.
- Allow the engine to cool completely before starting work
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal
- Locate the MAF sensor in the air intake duct
- Inspect the air filter — replace if dirty to prevent sensor contamination
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal
- Locate the MAF sensor on the air intake duct
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor
- Remove the screws or clamps securing the sensor
- Carefully remove the old sensor from the housing
- Install the new sensor in the correct orientation
- Secure with screws/clamps and torque to manufacturer's specifications
- Reconnect the electrical connector securely
- Reconnect the negative battery terminal
- Start the engine and check for smooth idle and throttle response
- Clear any diagnostic trouble codes using an OBD2 scanner
- Perform a drive cycle to allow ECU to re-learn fuel trims
- Inspection: During routine servicing or if Check Engine Light appears
- Replacement: Recommended at 160,000 km (100,000 miles) or immediately if failure symptoms appear
- Note: Proactive replacement is recommended to prevent poor fuel economy and reduced performance
