how easy to change a Mass Airflow Meter/Sensor
 

on a C280

shop wants $494 dollars for one and I can get one on here for 267.41.

On my other car it is a 5 minute job. How about a 1996 C280? any special tools?

thanks.

not sure on you c280 but on my s420 all i have to do is unscrew one hoze clamp and pull up on the whole sensor then unscrew the 2 screws holding it in and the one plug

The C280 just has a M104 engine - should take no more than 5 minutes to change.

thanks
 

that's what i figured but will the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT eventually reset itself?

B3130-51365 - this is the part I found on this site.

But it also refers to B3132-97783 - a Mass Air Meter Boot - do I need this as well?



shop wants .5 hr labor = $42

I have done it on my Land Rover and its very easy - just wanted to make sure. Thanks.
