Where to buy maf ?

Post by Rory » Thu Sep 05, 2019 10:36 pm

So I reckon the maf must be giving me the dodgy revving when brake is pressed.

Where is a reputable place to buy one which doesn’t cost the earth ? Euro car parts have one at over £400, no thanks !! eBay is a minefield of fakes and cheap rubbish. Help !

If your sure its the maf, have you tried cleaning it with some maf cleaner?
Worth a shot just in case for the price of a can of spray.
Try this link if you cant find genuine at a better price. £176 its euro car parts but through ebay, its a Seimens part, I can't remember if they're the OEM manufacturer but if not they are a OEM level supplier. I found it by searching the part number from Realoem in ebay . At least you know its genuine and not a knock off copy. Its not the first time this week I found something from euro car parts miles cheaper on ebay, even allowing for their B/S discount codes etc.

Im in the same boat, have a dodgy maf and it is indeed a seimens manufactured part.
Best price I could find was around £177 so will have to bite the bullet .
Also looked at ebay but as you said waste of money buying the cheapo ones as you know they will fail the moment you turn the ignition on ! :|

I also have the same issue and it looks likely it’s the maf. 177 is a lot better than 300 most places but still not cheap.

Did you buy one and did it fix the bouncing revs ? If so where did you buy from ?

Just for anyone with the same issue I got the Hella maf for 92 quid on eBay. Has fixed the issue.
