91 200tq mass air flow sensor

[Tom Werner]

The heated wire in the mass air flow sensor on my '91 200 tq has busted.  
It's a tragic story and it pains me to think about how this came about.  Are 
there options besides a replacement unit, i.e. can this be repaired?

Or, are there other units that share the same internals of the MAF sensor 
that can possibly be had for less, perhaps the 7A NA 20V, 6 cylinder 
engines, VW motronic engines, etc.

I don't mind doing a cut and paste from another application if it will give 
me the same result.

Alternately, if anyone wants to take a shot at repairing this heated wire, 
I'd be happy to pay cash money or even dog-sit your canine (no cats, 
please).

Thanks for your insight,


Tom Werner
