New MAF options
« on: 28 May 2014, 20:19:03 »

So, it's become apparent that I need a new MAF.

I can't afford the 100 odd quid vauxhall want for a new one. Euro car parts have two going, one at 80 notes the other at 40. There are some new ones going on eBay for 20 quid ish and only a couple of genuine secondhand ones (with no guarantee) for about 30 quid.

Can anyone offer advice on what to do? Really need to keep the spend as low as possible

Thanks

Just a quick note for you guys, when I worked @ ,my Vauxhall main dealer, our Parts Dept used to keep the MAF meters in stock. When it came to their own cars, they would try the stock MAF, confirm the fault, then order the same item from the local EuroCarParts using the Bosch number for about half the price.

The Bosch ones listed at EuroCarParts, etc.. is the same as the Vauxhall one. So, if you want one from a motor factors, quote the Bosch number on your MAF and make sure the one you are supplied is the same and it will work perfectly.

We even had a lad send one back via our Parts Dept for warranty that he had from the motor factors and Vauxhall paid it.

I can source you one if needed direct from Robert bosch in Coventry.

Genuine and far cheaper than vauxhall.

Pm me if needed

The downside of that is many motor factors are buying via a wholesale channel, not from the manufacturer, and there are an awful lot of fake stuff out there.  Every wondered why Bosch/Siemens Crank/Cam sensors not bought from GM never seem to last, if they work at all?

In some cases the factors probably aren't aware, in others, the additional profit to be made may be too tempting.

For this reason, I would not be buying critical sensors from the likes of ECP. I'd happily buy direct from Bosch, although the last crank sensor I bought was around £40 from GM and over £50 from my contacts direct from Bosch...  ...I need better contacts into Bosch ;D
