Correct MAF for pre facelift W202 C230K

[Bri957]

Hi

I need to order a new MAF for my 1996 C230 Kompressor.

The one fitted is part number 0000940048 (Mercedes) or 0280 217 100 (Bosch). It has a round electrical connector.

Like this aftermarket one: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/stark/7589159

When searching for replacements, parts sites suggest a MAF with a narrow cigar shaped electrical connector.

Like this aftermarket one: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ridex/8052543

Is anyone able to confirm which design should be fitted, are they inter-changable with a different connector?

Cheers

Search for the Mercedes part number on Autodoc. The replacements options all have the round connector as far as I can see. When ordering, go through the Autodoc app - it offers better discounts.

Thanks.

Are there any brands you recommend on Autodoc, other than Bosch?

£400+ for a maf stings a bit

Pierburg is usually good but, given how little the car is likely to be worth, I’d be tempted to go with one of the cheaper ones. A bit of a risk but worth taking in my opinion.

LoL it’s not ready for the scrap heap yet.

There’s not many standard manual 230k left.

Shop around too, GSF were cheaper when I was looking for a MAF - google the MB part number and you’ll get plenty of options.
