The Volkswagen Jetta Mass Air Flow Sensor is an instrument that detects incoming air to allow the engine computer to blend an adequate amount of fuel to provide smooth power and high mileage. This Mass Air Flow Sensor is located in the intake duct and transmits a frequency signal to the powertrain control module in Volkswagen models, which then determines the duration for which to maintain the air fuel ratio on target when idling, cruising, or performing hard acceleration. There have been two broad sensing styles over the years. The cars of that time could be equipped with a spring-loaded flap and potentiometer that was applied in the vane air flow meter; the door that moves may stick when grit accumulates, only limited flow is allowed, and this causes skewed readings. More prevalent today is the hot film design, which is specific to most Volkswagen applications, in which upstream and downstream temperatures are compared by heating a thin electronic membrane; this design eliminates the use of delicate wires and is responsive to variations in airflow. Vulnerability to dirt, salt, oil mist, and poor filtration, which insulate the sensing element, compels the PCM to add or subtract fuel and causes a check engine light in both styles. Drivers can experience hesitation, stalling, or low fuel economy; a dirty unit can be brought to life by cleaning, and a damaged unit cannot pass a voltage test and has to be replaced. Sealing the intake and using quality filters are also beneficial in safeguarding the Mass Air Flow Sensor and conserving Volkswagen performance in all Jetta cars.
