Spectra MA108 Mass Air Flow Sensor
The Spectra MA108 mass air flow sensor is built for precise airflow measurement in emission control systems. It uses a programmable ceramic circuit board with a premium silicon coating to help protect the sensor from under-hood heat swings and road vibration.
Compatible With Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2004-2006, Mercedes-Benz SLK230 1998-2002, and Mercedes-Benz C230 1997-2000. This part cross-references Bosch 0280217114 for the same application.
Key Features
- Mass air flow sensor for emission control applications
- Programmable ceramic circuit board for stable signal output
- Silicon-coated electronics for added protection against heat and vibration
- Fast signal response for accurate airflow feedback
- Uses platinum resistance thermometer sensor technology
- Direct replacement option for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, SLK230, and C230 applications
Detailed Description
The Spectra MA108 is engineered to measure incoming air so the engine control system can maintain proper fuel delivery and drivability. Its circuit design is focused on quick response and consistent signal behavior, while the platinum resistance thermometer sensors support accurate airflow sensing across changing operating conditions. For Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Mercedes-Benz SLK230, and Mercedes-Benz C230 models, this sensor addresses the needs of vehicles that rely on a precise mass air flow signal for smooth operation and emissions control.
Common Issues It May Solve
- Rough idle caused by inaccurate airflow readings
- Hesitation or poor throttle response
- Check engine light related to mass air flow sensor faults
- Hard starting or unstable engine performance
- Fuel mixture problems caused by incorrect air measurement
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the connector style and housing configuration before installation. This listing includes applications with integrated housing on Mercedes-Benz SLK230 1998-2002 and Mercedes-Benz C230 1997-2000. Confirm the vehicle year and engine application against the fitment data for the Spectra MA108 before replacing the sensor.
Quality Assurance
Spectra builds this sensor with a protected circuit board and temperature-resistant materials to support reliable operation in demanding under-hood conditions.
