Product Description
22680AD21
The 22680AD21 mass air flow sensor (MAF) is a high-precision hot-film airflow detection component installed on vehicle intake manifold, specially engineered for VW/Audi/Porsche 2.5L five-cylinder petrol, W12 & V8 turbo engines. It accurately measures incoming intake air mass volume and converts airflow data into standard electrical signal transmitted to ECU. Based on real-time air intake data, ECU precisely calculates optimal fuel injection quantity, calibrates air-fuel mixing ratio, improves combustion efficiency, cuts exhaust emission and optimizes power output & fuel economy. It serves as a direct OEM replacement spare fitting multiple Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche mainstream models.










Key Features
-
OEM Direct Fit: Strictly manufactured per original OE specification No.22680AD21, identical intake pipe outer diameter, fixed mounting hole spacing and original 5-pin connector, plug-and-play installation without pipe cutting or extra adapter modification.
-
High Precision Hot-film Sensing Chip: Adopts imported automotive-grade hot-film detection core, fast airflow response speed, stable signal output under idle, acceleration and high-speed working conditions, effectively avoid air-fuel ratio deviation.
-
High Temp & Anti-dust Durable Structure: Air inlet equipped with integrated protective metal filter screen to block intake dust and impurity; high-temperature resistant PA66 plastic shell with anti-aging coating, stable performance under drastic intake temperature fluctuation.
-
Built-in Anti-interference Shield Circuit: Internal shielding wiring design effectively filters electromagnetic interference from ignition coil and alternator, ensuring steady signal delivery to ECU under severe engine vibration.
-
IATF16949 Standard QC Control: All finished sensors pass full inspection including airflow calibration test, high-low temperature cycle aging test, vibration durability test and signal consistency test before delivery.
Performance Indicators
-
Airflow Detection Accuracy: Standard tolerance within ±3% of OEM benchmark; contaminated or aged sensing chip causes detection deviation, leading to mixed gas imbalance and poor fuel economy.
-
Signal Output Stability: Qualified sensor outputs linear voltage signal corresponding to intake airflow; faulty unit appears signal jump or intermittent loss triggering engine fault code P0101/P0102.
-
Ambient Temperature Adaptability: Normal working range from -40℃ ~ +125℃; inferior products drift detection value under extreme cold or high engine compartment temperature.
-
Rated Service Life: Standard effective service mileage:90,000~180,000 KM; service life shortened by unfiltered dirty air, engine backfire oil splash and long-term high-load driving.
-
Supply Rated Voltage: Standard 12V DC power supply from vehicle onboard circuit, overvoltage will permanently damage internal sensing chip.

Cross Reference / Alternative OE Numbers
This sensor is a direct replacement for the following OE numbers:
226802Y001, 226802Y100, 22680AA29A, 22680AD200, 22680AD201, 22680AD210
Installation Notes
-
Disconnect vehicle battery negative pole before installation to avoid ECU circuit short-circuit damage.
-
Clean intake pipeline inner residual dirt and oil stain to prevent impurity entering new MAF sensor after mounting.
-
Never wipe or touch internal hot-film sensing probe by hand; fingerprint grease will cause permanent detection inaccuracy.
-
After installation, connect OBD diagnostic scanner to clear relevant air flow fault codes and conduct road test to check acceleration & fuel consumption performance.
-
Replace the sensor when facing obvious fuel consumption rise, acceleration weakness, unstable idle speed or illuminated engine malfunction warning lamp.
