MAF failure

So the dealer says that the mass airflow sensor failed in the car. Luckily it's covered under warranty. What I told them was that I am using a K&N air filter, and I was worried that the oil from it might've contaminated the MAF. I'm going to get a new air filter for the car when I pick it up later. No more K&N filters, I'm afraid. I just replaced the MAF sensor on my older (1995) gasoline Jetta. Same problem - they said the oil from the K&N filter had fouled the MAF.

They said they didn't have the MAF in stock, but there's one on its way coming from San Jose. We should hopefully be leaving here tonight. And if there are no further problems, we'll be back in Seattle early early tomorrow.

This vacation has had its ups and plenty of downs. Right now it's not feeling like a vacation, though, so I'm ready for it to be over. If I can get back to Seattle by tomorrow then that'll mean I won't have to go back to work until Monday. I could use a few days to recover.
