Volkwagen peeps step in, IAT sensor on a 2.0L jetta

Oh and also, fuck Volkswagens. I hope this is the last time I have to work on one of these piles. Everything is so damn special for this car and expensive and a pain in the ass. Can't just go to Advance and buy the cheap shit which is stupid. I paid $19 for a "liter" of power steering fluid for this thing.
Well thank you for agreeing with me haha. Seriously the power steering pump I just put in from carquest for 150 bucks and it's the size of my hand. I got a pump for my car, with the reservoir from Morad for 20 bucks 
Can't take the risk in buying used/cheap parts with this "fancy" piece of shit though.

Re:
So I'm going to jump to the conclusion that the IAT is bad. Going to replace that first and clear the code and hope that it runs better and doesn't come back. So I have been reading up on replacing one of these and it is saying the the IAT is an integral part of the MAF sensor. So does that mean that I'd have to replace both? Because I had my sister order the part from car quest and you can order just the IAT sensor so I assume there is a way to remove it seperately. I'm just asking cause I didn't get a chance to look at it, and I want the job to go as smoothly as possible so I'm not standing out in a cold ass garage for too long.[/QUOTE]
I do agree. I wonder why the IAT sensor in Volkswagen cars are low in quality. Anyway, with regard to your question, you obviously need to replace the MAF sensor as well, since both are integrated.

rly:cause it was like the guy above you said, the IAC just turned out to be a part of the MAF sensor and that had to be replaced. $200 for the MAF sensor and $20 labor and my buddies shop cause I was tired of dealing with that piece and it passed emission too. So I don't know where you got that logic from
I was just saying everything is built into one part so parts get expensive. That's why my bro alWays says any German car is great but once the warranty is up then sell stand never buy one without a warranty. I am looking at Audi a6 biturbo for 8k but no warranty so its hard decision but my buddy that owns it is replacing everything that is going out even has brand new turbos
