I saw part no. 996.606.124.00 on Pelican Parts for $252.25 is this the right part? It's made by Bosch, is that OEM?

Yes that is correct.. they are whoring it out at that price :) Cost is $217.10 and Bosch is OEM :)

You will end up finding out it is your MAF :) Promise.

Thanks! From what I've read, it sounds like you are probably right. I guess I was hoping these parts would last longer. I have other cars with many more miles that I've never replaced the MAF.

Since I'm getting ONLY 1128 and NOT 1130 could it be the MAF?

My mistake. I am getting both codes, just wasn't forwarding to the second DTC! I guess I will just "bite the bullet" or MAF in this case!!

Today I received a new MAF from Autohaus Arizona with part number 986.606.125. Is this interchangeable with my old one with part no. 996.606.124?? or do I have the incorrect one. I haven't tried it yet...

Sorry, your car needs a 996.606.124.00.

I did notice on the Pelican site that the other part number was specified for a '02-'04 C2/C4. I was surprised since the part number started with 986?

Actually the MAF for MY02 and newer is a 986 number.

I contacted the folks at Autohaus AZ this AM, and the rep said according to Bosch they are interchangeable. Do you think there is any harm in trying it out?

Well, it didn't...at least not very smoothly. I let it run until the idle dropped, then blipped the throttle. It would have died had I not kept my foot on the pedal. So I swapped the old one back in...much better. Not ideal, however it'll work for now. In the meantime, I am attempting to exchange for the correct part.

Did you let it run for a few minutes? The computer has to adapt to actually getting a signal from the MAF

I did and it didn't get any better. I was able to return it and get a full refund from Autohaus AZ. I then ordered the correct MAF from Pelican Parts. Installed it Wednesday and cleared the CEL. Drove the car to let the monitors run and now I have no more CEL. It would seem to be fixed. So the advice on this site was spot on. Thanks everyone! :D
