BKD A3 TDI MAF sensor differences between 2004 and 2011 0281002461 & 0281002735

[Matt_Storm]

Hi i am hoping someone can help i have purchased a MAF sensor for my 2004 tdi BKD A3 from ebay its a Bosch 0281002735 and have now discovered the plug is slightly different to the one on my car, this is infact a MAF sensor for a 2011 2.0l tdi that i have purchased in error. The maf connector on my car is split and occasionally works loose - i do need a new one so was wondering if anyone knew the differences between a 2004 MAF sensor bosch part number 0281002461 and the one i have bought? i was hoping to replace my connector with a 2011 version as an easy option if this is the only difference - they are both 5 pin. I would just send the MAF back but the seller is having none of it, cheers Matt
