It's about friggin' time!! I just got a letter from SOA informing me that the MAF on the '99 cars is a pos and should be replaced. There is a part on the back about sending them a receipt for the one I paid for and they will reimburse me for the repair!! I wonder what the difference is on the new ones....anyone know yet? I am making an appointment asap to get mine swapped out and maybe then I can have an intake AND have the car run for more than a few weeks!!

P.S.
I went through 3 MAFs...I am on #4 now...only paid for one, but they sure are expensive!!

if you have a blown MAF laying around put that on the car before the swap, that way if it blows youll have a seond as a backup.

Yeah, I just recently got my recall notice. From what I've heard the new "99 MAF" is a hot wire sensor now (instead of a hot film)!!!

 

[Nate]

I had it done today and was able to get side by side pics of the old and new MAF along with part numbers:

Look there at the bottom of the page.

Peaty, I dont understand your wording at the bottom, the new MAF is UNDER $50?!

 

[Peaty]

Yes the new MAF, which is just the sensor part is around 45 dollars + shipping. It is actually the same part number that is stated in the first part of that page. Punch the number in at subaruparts and see for yourself.

Unless you are asking this question

Bucks = Dollars, then yes :biggest:

Wow, so the housing must make it cost $300+ then right..thats silly.
