Maf types

[stephenwhite990]

My 2.5 tdi v6 is running slow , so I disconected the maf and got my power back thus proving that the MAF is faulty , I am looking at new ones but there is a huge variation in price , is it worth paying for a bosch one or not ?????

buy one from tps or a main dealer unless you like extra fault finding and taking things back.

I have found two which are both brand new bosch items with the same part number on , but one is £114 and one is £200 , but they are both supposedly the same is one just vastly overpriced ????? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BOSCH-AIR-FLOW-METER-MAF-PASSAT-MK-V-2-5-TDI-AFB-A4-Avant-2-5-TDI-0281002429-OEM-/160684525206?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item25698b4696 or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A4-2-5-TDI-Avant-Quattro-AFB-97-00-147bhp-BOSCH-MASS-AIR-FLOW-0281002429-/180731746067?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a14739713

theres a lot of fakes out there that look just like the real deal, so be very careful. you can't really go wrong buying from a dealer though.

go to audi and ask for an exchange one
they are around £100-120 plus £50 refundable when you return old one
DO NOT BUY FROM EBAY!
