Dealing with a P0170 code on my W202. The car was jerking and accelerating erratically. Barely made it home and ran the codes to find the MAF sensor is bad. So, in today's video we will be replacing the MAF sensor on this 2000 Mercedes C230 to remedy this issue.

Sometimes you can clean these with this MAF sensor cleaner - https://amzn.to/44eU4HI and that's a good thing to try before replacing it. But the problem may come back shortly after.

However, as you can see, this sensor is coated with oil due to a bad PCV valve. So, stay tuned after this repair, we will also be fixing the PCV system.

Here are a few different options for MAF sensors for the W202:
Bosch MAF Sensor Ebay - https://ebay.us/QfvXDM
Bosch MAF Sensor Amazon - https://amzn.to/44fmFwr
A-Premium Mass Air Flow Sensor - https://amzn.to/45xhbhI
Cheaper Ebay Option - https://ebay.us/MQXXK7

This is a very easy replacement that pretty much anyone can do themselves. Taking your car to a shop for this simple of a job is silly and can waste your hard earned $$$.
