Thank you, I have ordered a bosch 986-606-124-00.

in early 2000 but after my car was produced, Porsche changed the AMS/MAF and released a TSB to that effect. They rolled to the later AMS/MAF. However this involved a software upgrade.

My car has not had the upgrade, consequently I cannot use a later MAF.

Sunset Porsche, closest to me, told me that because this change was a TSB, not a recall, the software upgrade is a chargeable service.

The want $188 for the software.

I suppose when I cannot get the old MAF, I will have to cough up.

Disappointing that they charge for this.

Thank you all for your input on this issue.
