The PN's mat be different but they interchange fine.


The Digifant AFM has a temp sensor in the air stream, so it technically does
measure air mass with the combination of the flapper and the temp sensor.

not so


Air Flow Meter


86-92 Vanagon   B3130-13055 (Bosch)     VW 025 906 301C
                Bosch 0 280 202 079


89-92 Golf      B3130-24461 (Bosch)     VW 037 906 301
                Bosch 0 280 202 106


just to add some clarification to the orginal post the Digifant II system 
does not use a MAF (mass air flow sensor).  it uses an AFM (air flow 
meter).  a MAF uses the hot wire not a flapper door like a AFM.


i know that some of the hotrod vw guys like to use a BMW AFM made by 
bosch.  it bolts right up but the resistance values are different which 
means in basic terms different amounts of fuel are pumped in the engine.

the MAF and the airbox can be seperated. Thanx...
