AutoMechanics 0280217500 Mass Air Flow Sensor: Accurate air flow measurement
Available Options
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor is the engine's nose—it sniffs out how much air is flowing in, so the computer can mix the perfect cocktail of fuel and air for combustion. This particular unit is tailored for certain Mercedes-Benz models: think C280, E320, and S320 from the mid-'90s era (1993 to 1999). By feeding accurate data to the ECU, it keeps things like fuel economy sharp, emissions low, and that classic Benz responsiveness intact.
In the real world, a healthy MAF means no more embarrassing rough idles at stoplights, sluggish acceleration when you need it, or mysteriously vanishing gas mileage. Keep this sensor in check with regular maintenance—it's a small part with a big job. Swapping it out is a breeze for anyone who's ever turned a wrench; just a few basic tools and some patience, and you're back on the road. Perfect for DIYers or pros looking for a quick, effective fix.

before swapping this in, my mercedes was acting up with weird stutters at stops and guzzling gas like crazy. after putting it in, everything smoothed out—no more embarrassing moments at red lights, and it drives way more responsive. i'm a bit of a life-hacker, so doing it myself was a breeze, just needed some patience. overall, it's a reliable fix that got my classic benz back in shape without breaking the bank.
- Pros: it fixed my car's rough idle and sluggish acceleration right away, feels like the engine is breathing properly again. easy to install with basic tools, and the fuel economy has improved noticeably, which is a solid value for the price.
- Cons: from what i feel, it might not last as long as the original part, but it's fairly decent for now. no major issues yet, just a bit skeptical about long-term durability.
