Product Summary
The air box is fitted in the engine bay and holds the replaceable air-filter element. It channels filtered air toward the turbocharger and engine. The attached mass-air-flow sensor measures incoming airflow so the engine-control unit can calculate fuelling, boost and emissions control accurately.

This Part Will Not Fit
Do Not Order For
- Petrol-engine Rapid models.

- Later EA288 / post-May-2015 arrangements with a different intake system.
- Any vehicle with a different MAF connector, outlet diameter, lid, snorkel, breather layout or mounting points.
- Any vehicle whose VIN catalogue result or removed-part number differs.
Send Through eBay Messages
- Full 17-character VIN.
- Registration number as a secondary check only.
- Clear photograph of the original housing and sensor label.
- Original air-box and MAF part numbers.
- Engine code from the vehicle data label or catalogue.
Common Symptoms & Why Replacement Matters
Possible Symptoms
- Engine-management light or MAF-related fault codes.
- Hesitation, poor acceleration, reduced power or limp mode.
- Rough idle, unstable running or occasional stalling.
- Higher fuel consumption, excess smoke or poor throttle response.
- Whistling intake noise or an air leak after the MAF sensor.
- Broken clips, cracked casing, damaged mounts or a loose intake hose.
Why Use a Factory-Fit Used Assembly?
- Correct factory geometry, mounting points and airflow path when numbers match.
- Better connector and duct alignment than many low-cost copy components.
- Reuses an existing component instead of manufacturing another housing.
- Used parts can be substantially cheaper than new; savings vary and may reach 70% on some components.
- Actual-item photographs allow condition and identification to be checked before purchase.
These symptoms can also be caused by wiring, boost leaks, EGR, turbocharger, injector, filter or engine-control faults. Correct diagnosis is required before replacing parts.
Installation Guide
Recommended Tools
- Torx-bit set
- 7 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm sockets as applicable
- Ratchet and extension
- Flat trim tool / screwdriver
- Hose-clamp pliers
- Inspection lamp and gloves
- Diagnostic scanner where fault codes are present
Estimated Workshop Time
Approximately 0.5–1.0 labour hour for a competent technician when fasteners, ducts and wiring are serviceable.
Allow more time for diagnosis, seized fixings, damaged hoses, broken mounts or filter replacement.
Use manufacturer workshop data for the exact vehicle. No torque figures are guessed in this listing.
- Switch the ignition off, remove the key and allow the engine to cool. Photograph the original hose and wiring routes.
- Release the MAF electrical connector correctly. Do not pull on the wiring.
- Loosen the intake-hose clamp and detach the hose without damaging its sealing edge.
- Disconnect the air guide, snorkel and any breather connections fitted to your exact vehicle.
- Remove the housing fasteners or release the rubber locating mounts. Lift the assembly evenly without forcing it.
- Place old and replacement units side by side. Compare every number, connector, outlet, drain, mounting point and duct connection.
- Inspect or renew the air-filter element, sealing gasket, rubber mounts and hose clamps before installation.
- Install the housing securely. Reconnect ducts and wiring, ensuring there are no intake leaks or trapped cables.
- Start the engine, inspect the complete intake path and check for warning lights, leaks or abnormal noise.
- Only clear diagnostic codes after the underlying fault has been repaired. Road-test and recheck as appropriate.
