K11 1.3 16V 1997 MAF problem

[Alex_mne]

I'm having problems with MAF sensor. Loosing power, not responding well to throttle etc.
Everything like in the book.
Problem is that I have 1997 K11 with maf integral to the throttle body.

Do I have to find original part or can I install newer, Bosch type throttle body? It's difficult to find original part for a car so old in my country. Maybe used one, but not sure.

No. Haven't tried anything yet. Problem was just discovered, and yesterday I was trying to find throttle body or MAF sensor. They offered me newer, Bosch type in car parts store, and it doesn't fit. Of course.
So, tomorrow will try to find some solution.
BTW, what do you mean by "solder fix"?
