Is it the same as on a 96 Passat 2.0 (ABA)?  If so, I've got one you can have.

thanks zen but i know that that would not work the car is an eight valve.

Figured it was different, but I got for free and don't need it.  I bought an air cleaner at Pull A Part (about 5 or 6 bucks) and got home and realized the Mass Air Flow Sensor was attached.  If you still need one in couple of weeks, I gott'a make a trip back to Pull A Part . . . I'll see if they have any.  There are about 6 bucks, 7 if you want a 30 day warranty.[/i]
