Genuine Porsche Mass Air Flow Sensor MAF 98660612501 – Boxster 986 / 911 996 & 997

Genuine Porsche Mass Air Flow Sensor MAF 98660612501 – Boxster 986 / 911 996 & 997

The Genuine Porsche Mass Air Flow Sensor MAF 98660612501 is an original Porsche engine-management component designed to measure the amount of air entering the engine. The sensor provides airflow information to the engine control unit so the engine-management system can calculate the appropriate fuel delivery for operating conditions.

Porsche part number 98660612501, formatted as 986 606 125 01, is officially described in Porsche parts catalogues as a Mass Air Flow Meter. It is installed within the engine air-intake system and is documented across compatible Porsche Boxster 986 and Porsche 911 applications.

This reference was subsequently replaced by 98660612502. When ordering current Genuine Porsche stock, customers searching for 98660612501 may therefore encounter the newer 98660612502 reference.

Why Choose Genuine Porsche 98660612501?

Genuine Porsche Engine Management Component

98660612501 is an original Porsche reference for the applicable mass air flow meter. The MAF sensor is an important input to the engine-management system because it measures incoming air before the ECU determines the required fuel delivery.

Mass Air Flow Meter

Porsche PET identifies 98660612501 as Mass Air Flow Meter. Common descriptions include Mass Air Flow Sensor, MAF Sensor, Air Mass Sensor and Air Mass Meter.

Porsche Boxster 986 Application

98660612501 is documented for compatible Porsche Boxster 986 applications, including selected Boxster 2.7L and Boxster S 3.2L vehicles. Production and chassis-number restrictions can apply, so VIN verification is recommended.

Porsche 911 996 Application

Porsche PET directly identifies 98660612501 for applicable Porsche 911 996 configurations, including documented later applications with engine code M96.03.

Porsche 911 997 Application

The same MAF reference also appears in applicable Porsche 911 997 parts documentation. Because the 997 generation used different engine and intake configurations, exact compatibility should be confirmed using the VIN.

Porsche Part Number Supersession

The documented progression is 98660612500 → 98660612501 → 98660612502. Porsche dealer catalogue data identifies 98660612502 as the later replacement for 98660612501. If EAT physical stock and packaging show 98660612501, retain that exact reference as the SKU and manufacturer part number.

MAF Sensor vs Air Filter and Oxygen Sensor

The MAF sensor measures incoming air and is separate from the engine air filter, which removes contaminants, and the oxygen/lambda sensor, which monitors the exhaust system.

Package Contents

Unless EAT's physical stock confirms additional components, this listing represents 1 x Genuine Porsche Mass Air Flow Sensor 98660612501. Air filter, complete air cleaner housing, intake hose, mounting hardware, wiring harness and additional sensors are separate components.
