Frequently asked questions

What is the air flow meter body (280217532) for?
The air flow meter body is the housing of the mass air flow meter in the intake, sitting between the air filter and throttle housing. It carries the sensing element that gives the engine management its metered-air signal for fuelling. It fits the Land Rover Discovery 2 with the 4.0 and 4.6 V8 petrol engine.
Does this cross-reference the Bosch and Land Rover numbers?
Yes, this is the Bosch 0 280 217 532 air flow meter body and cross-references Land Rover OE part ERR7171. It's supplied as the meter body. Match these numbers against your existing sensor to confirm fitment before ordering, as V8 intake sensors vary by year.
What are the signs the air flow meter is failing?
Signs of a failing air flow meter on the Discovery 2 V8 include poor running, hesitation, erratic idle, higher fuel use and sometimes a fault light. A faulty meter sends the wrong air signal so fuelling is off. Check the wiring and intake for leaks before condemning it.
