replacing MAF sensor
« on: 30 December 2012, 22:29:47 »

My car judders sometimes, and according to a fault reading there is low voltage at the MAF sensor. So I presume I need a new one.

The car is the 3.0 litre and the only new ones I have seen are the bosch ones at £220. Is there a cheaper alternative?

Thanks!

if, for some bizarre reason you cant find one, ask for one from a breaker on here. in fact having said that might ne worth asking a breaker on here first to see what price  :y

I wouldnt buy a pattern one.I would rather have a known good second hand genuine  than a new pattern one.
Might be worht creating a wanted ad in the test zone and ask an admin to move it to the for sale/wanted section. :y

Agreed! I bought a pattern MAF for my Astra. It didn't last. A new-to-me MAF sorted it though.



Likewise my Omega ...... Thanks Cpt Zok!  :y

bugger......too late. Bought one for 18 quid incl postage.

If it does not last it's not the end of the world for that money.
