Product Description
078906461B
The 078906461B 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.078906461B, 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.

028906461, 028906461X, 038906461B, 038906461BX, 059906461B, 059906461BX, 06A906461G, 0280218038, 0280218039, 028021808, 0280218212, 078906461B, 078906461BX, SU5412
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.
