Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Installation:
- Safety First: Disconnect the vehicle's battery before beginning.
- Locate Sensor: Identify the MAF sensor in the air intake ducting, typically between the air filter box and the throttle body.
- Disconnect Electrical Connector: Carefully release the locking tab and unplug the existing sensor's wiring harness.
- Remove Old Sensor: Unbolt the old MAF sensor from the air intake duct.
- Install New Sensor: Mount the Hella MAF sensor (8ET 009 149-561) using the original bolts. Ensure a snug fit.
- Reconnect Electrical Connector: Plug the wiring harness back into the new sensor until it clicks.
- Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the vehicle's battery.
- Test: Start the engine and check for proper operation. A diagnostic scan may be necessary to clear any related error codes.
Compatibility:
This sensor is specifically designed for vehicles listed under its compatibility, including but not limited to:
- Peugeot 2008 I
- Citroën C3 II
- Citroën Dispatch III
