Spectra MA296 Mass Air Flow Sensor

Spectra MA296 Mass Air Flow Sensor

The Spectra MA296 mass air flow sensor is built for Volkswagen and Audi applications that use an integrated housing design. It measures incoming air so the engine control system can maintain accurate fuel delivery and drivability across changing conditions.

Key Features

• Programmable ceramic circuit board with premium-grade silicon coating
• Built to resist under-hood temperature swings and road vibration
• Fast signal response for stable airflow measurement
• Uses platinum resistance thermometer sensor technology
• Direct replacement for select Volkswagen and Audi MAF sensor applications

What It Helps Address

• Rough idle caused by inaccurate airflow readings
• Hesitation or sluggish throttle response
• Fuel trim issues related to incorrect air measurement
• Check engine light conditions tied to mass air flow sensor faults
• Driveability problems on Volkswagen and Audi engines with integrated housing MAF designs

Installation Notes

Verify the connector style and housing configuration before ordering. This sensor is listed for applications with integrated housing, so match the original part number and vehicle fitment carefully. For best results, inspect the intake tract for leaks or contamination that can affect airflow readings after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Spectra uses a ceramic circuit board with protective silicon coating and platinum resistance thermometer sensor technology to support consistent signal output in demanding engine bay conditions.
