Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is an Air Mass Sensor?

An Air Mass Sensor (or MAF sensor) measures the amount of air entering the engine. This data is sent to the engine control unit (ECU) to help it determine the right amount of fuel to inject for optimal combustion.

What are the symptoms of a failing Air Mass Sensor?

Common symptoms include a Check Engine Light, rough idling, stalling, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and reduced engine power.

How do I know if this specific Febi Bilstein part (180674) fits my vehicle?

Verify the part number against your vehicle's original equipment part number and consult the compatibility list provided. If unsure, provide your vehicle's VIN to a parts specialist for confirmation.

Can I install this sensor myself?

While it's a direct replacement part, installation should ideally be done by a qualified mechanic. Febi Bilstein typically does not provide fitting instructions, and improper installation can cause further issues.

What is the difference between a hot-wire and a hot-film MAF sensor?

Both measure airflow, but hot-wire sensors use a heated wire element, while hot-film sensors use a heated film. Hot-wire sensors are generally known for their responsiveness.

Does this sensor come with a new housing?

Yes, this Febi Bilstein Air Mass Sensor is supplied 'with housing', meaning it is a complete unit ready for installation.

What does 'MPN' stand for?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. In this case, 180674 is the specific part number assigned by Febi Bilstein to this Air Mass Sensor.

Troubleshooting

Check Engine Light illuminated

This can indicate a faulty air mass sensor or other related issues. Scan the vehicle's OBD-II system for specific fault codes (e.g., P0101, P0102, P0103) and consult a mechanic for diagnosis and replacement if necessary.

Rough idle or stalling

An inaccurate air flow reading can cause an unstable air-fuel mixture. Ensure the sensor is correctly installed, the electrical connector is secure, and there are no air leaks in the intake system before or after the sensor.

Poor engine performance or hesitation

Verify the part number matches your vehicle's requirements and that the sensor is installed correctly. Check the air filter and intake ducting for blockages or leaks.

Increased fuel consumption

A malfunctioning sensor may lead to incorrect fuel injection. Ensure the sensor is functioning correctly and that there are no other underlying engine issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances engine performance and fuel efficiency through accurate air measurement.
  • Improves throttle response and overall engine smoothness.
  • Durable construction from a trusted automotive parts manufacturer.
  • Helps ensure compliance with emissions standards.
  • Direct replacement for OE part, simplifying installation in compatible vehicles.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation due to lack of included instructions.
  • Compatibility is limited to specific Audi and Volkswagen diesel models.
  • Failure to install correctly can lead to engine performance issues.
  • Not suitable for gasoline engines or other vehicle makes/models.
  • Potential for vehicle check engine light if not properly calibrated or if faulty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This Air Mass Sensor (MPN: 180674) is specifically designed for the following vehicles:

  • Audi A5 2.0D (2008 onwards)
  • Volkswagen Crafter 2.0D (2011 onwards)
  • Volkswagen Passat 2.0D (2008-2015)
  • Volkswagen Tiguan 5N 2.0D (2007 onwards)

Always verify fitment with your vehicle's VIN or original part number before purchase. Consult a professional if unsure.

Setup & Installation:

Installation of this component should be performed by a qualified mechanic. It typically involves:

  1. Disconnecting the vehicle's battery.
  2. Locating the existing air mass sensor in the air intake system.
  3. Disconnecting the electrical connector.
  4. Removing any mounting hardware.
  5. Installing the new Febi Bilstein sensor.
  6. Reconnecting the electrical connector and securing the sensor.
  7. Reconnecting the battery.

*Note: Products are typically supplied without fitting instructions.* A diagnostic scan after installation may be necessary to clear any related fault codes.

Care:

Air mass sensors are sensitive electronic components and generally require no user maintenance. Avoid spraying cleaning agents directly into the sensor element. Keep the air intake system clean to prevent debris from damaging the sensor.
