Air Flow Meters are a weak link anyway,
in an ideal world we'd put a new OE genuine VW german one on every 5 years..

what is the symptom ?
if find them causing uneven running, and hiccupping..
but they won't keep it from starting up.

not sure on an air-cooled, but  a waterboxer  will  start just fine without
the AFM even on the van...
won't rev out ..but will start and run.

what is the symptom you are trying to fix ?
