Title: MAF Sensor
Post by: frmg0014 on 17 November 2008, 21:43:45

Hey Guys.  I have a 2001 Cadillac Catera Sport:

(http://www.lemonfree.com/reviews/images/00catera.jpg)

This is a rebadged Opel Omega.  I'm not too familiar with it's European counterpart in terms of models.

I'm currently in need of a MAF Sensor.  I'm planning to get one from Europe in hopes that I get a better deal.  Does anyone know of a website or possibly an Ebay link of one?  I was looking through ebay and saw a few but they are listed to fit different models of Opel and Vauxhall.  In North America, we the Catera only comes with a 3.0L motor.  In Europe they seem to come in different sizes which is why it's a but difficult for me to assume that this would fit my vehicle.  Can somebody help me out and hopefully point me to the right direction?

Thanks in advance! :)  :y

Read this thread, it has all you need:

Also, I don't want to sound rude, but the thread above was only under discussion this morning and is only 1 page pack with exactly the same title and essentially the same question. A quick cursory search will often yield results.

I ordered a MAF sensor from the man (Mike) on the number given in that thread this morning; he was great and only too happy to help.

Hope you get you get your car sorted, it looks lovely. I like the Cateras.

That's the exact one for my car.  You can also see the part number on the pic itself.  Which shows: 0 281 002 184
