Detailed Description

Delphi AF10388 is engineered for vehicles that use a probe-only mass air flow sensor, making it a direct replacement choice for many Mercedes-Benz platforms. Delphi draws on more than a century of OE supply experience, and that background is reflected in the sensor design and application coverage. This part cross-references Bosch 0280217810 for the same application.

For Mercedes-Benz owners searching for a replacement mass air flow sensor for SLK55 AMG, G55 AMG, ML500, E500, or S500 applications, this sensor supports accurate airflow measurement so the engine computer can calculate fuel delivery and load more precisely. The result is a service part focused on restoring proper sensor input rather than changing the vehicle’s original calibration.

What It Helps Fix

• Rough idle caused by inaccurate airflow readings
• Hesitation or stumble during acceleration
• Reduced fuel economy from incorrect air-fuel calculation
• Check engine light related to mass air flow sensor faults
• Driveability issues after contamination or sensor wear

Installation Notes

Confirm that your vehicle uses a probe-only mass air flow sensor before ordering. This Delphi AF10388 mounts with a bolt-on design and uses a 5-terminal blade connection with an oval female connector. Inspect the intake tract for dirt, oil residue, or air leaks before installation, since contamination upstream can affect sensor performance. Verify fitment for your exact Mercedes-Benz model and year, including SLK55 AMG 2005-2010, G55 AMG 2003-2009, G500 2002-2008, ML500 2002-2007, R500 2006-2007, C55 AMG 2005-2006, CL500 2000-2006, CLK500 2003-2006, CLK55 AMG 2001-2006, CLS500 2006, E500 2003-2006, E55 AMG 1999-2006, S430 2000-2006, S500 2000-2006, SL500 1999-2006, E320 2004, CLK430 1999-2003, ML55 AMG 2000-2003, CL55 AMG 2001-2002, CL600 2001-2002, E430 1998-2002, S55 AMG 2001-2002, S600 2001-2002, ML430 1999-2001, and C43 AMG 1998-2000.
