It's bolted onto the outlet of the air filter housing & has an in-line five wire connector. It is fairly easy to replace, but if it has set a code you will need a scanner to reset.

If you have less than 70k miles than its covered under vw warranty.

is the dealership the only place i can buy it from? i checked pep boys and they cant get it.

There are lots of aftermarket vendors online, do a google search on "VW MAF". VW's price has come down alot in the last couple years, so it's not too bad to buy it from them.
