[MBZ] Today's Challenge - Can You Take It??
Here’s the deal: The S500 may need a new MAF. I happen to have a MAF on the shelf. It’s a different part number, but close, used on an S420. Physically, it’s the same except that the connector comes straight out the side and not perpendicular. I can’t find any specs on MAFs in general, only application information. This is your challenge: I want to try and find out if I can use this MAF on the S500. Here are the part numbers, both Bosch and MB: Called out in the EPC for the 1995 S500: MB: 0001940148 Bosch: 0280214004 The MAF I have, used on a 1996-9 S420 (and S500, I might add): MB: 0001940748 Bosch: 0280217607 I’m digging into this myself, but I figured if I could engage the collective wisdom here maybe I can determine whether I can substitute this one or not.

The easiest/fastest way is probably to install it see if it works. If you can check wiring diagrams for donor and recipient, make sure none of the pins/functions were moved around, then give it a try. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Pin for pin identical. The only thing I can think of is the values are different, and the original is cast aluminum, the later ones are phenolic. Dimensionally they’re the same except for the orientation of the connector.

The worst that can happen is it will burst into flames or cause total failure of whatever it connects to. *grin* By the way, the acronym patrol would like to know what MAF stand for. http://www.maf.org Musculoaponeurotic Fibrosarcoma Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Modified Academy of Fencing Management Accountability Framework Mobility Air Forces Missile Alert Facility Macrophage Activating Factor Mineral-Ash Free Memory Allocation Failure Mexican Air Force Middle Age Friends ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Sorry. Air Mass Flow Meter It’s the doohickey that is ahead of your throttle plate in a Bosch EFI system. It measures airflow into the engine (very simple explanation.)
