Replacing the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Engine

To replace the mass air flow sensor (also known as MAF), open the rear hood and remove the engine cover: the sensor is located on the intake duct, at the entrance to the air filter box; then open the engine air filter container cover, remove the filter, disconnect the sensor connector, and unscrew the clamp on the duct to free the filter box and then remove the MAF sensor; at this point, proceed in reverse by securing the new MAF sensor to the filter box, reposition it in its place by connecting the hose, inserting the filter, and finally the cover.

Install the new wiper blade onto the arm; you will hear a click when it is securely attached. Finally, lower the wiper arm onto the rear window and test the new blade's operation.
