i know.. i've sent my chassis number to Pelican parts and they sent me the correct part number but i'm so tired of these stupid codes i'm willing to try a different MAF.

i'm wondering.. is there any DEFINITIVE way one can confirm he has the correct MAF version? what should Durametric read?

That's it - but it says that it won't fit a 2000.

right now i have this guy on the car and it doesnt seem to work:
0280218055 - 996 606 124 01

when i bought the car the MAF had already been replaced with a 996 606 124 01 part which is why i bought the same but i dont know what the ORIGINAL part was. my car is an early 2000 so maybe it had the older version of MAF for that year but original owner was wrong.

i'm gonna try the older version which maybe was originally on the car:
0 280 218 009 - 996 606 124 00


let's see if this one takes the cake.
