MAF Sensor, will I go cheap?
« on: 14 October 2015, 00:43:39 »
Hi, I have been looking for a cheap Mass Air Flow Sensor and I have found quite some.
But I'm having some troubles deciding to go cheap, less expensive and Bosch.
As far as concerns prices starting 30€ to 350€. There is a HUGE discrepancy about prices I really need your opinion.

What about cleaning? Should I clean it first or... buy it?

Not tried cleaning one tbh, No doubt someone who has tried will reply.  :y

You could always try buying a genuine used MAF if money is tight, Although I wouldn't know how readily available they are in Portugal  :-\

Have you tried a breaker on here? I thought the 3.0 MAF was fairly robust, or am I confused? :-\

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

If finance is an issue, buy a second hand VX know worker than a cheapo new one.

'Breaker' is an English (probably only British) slang term meaning 'scrap' or 'used'. Basically Lazydocker is suggesting you get a second hand, used part, which will probably last many years, and cost a fraction of the price of a new one.  :)

Me, personally I'd feel dirty if I paid more than £10 for one, and certainly not £300!  :)

If Portugal is anything like Spain then the chances of finding a petrol engined Omega in a desguace( car recycling business) is slim. There not being a demand for the parts the cars just get processed. Most Omegas are diesels.

About MAF diagnoses is there any chance of ECU being wrong about MAF replacement?

Indeed, it's impossible to find an omega in scrapyard!
Most likely diesel if you find it...

Although I see you have a MAF now, next time you need a part, try Steve at Omega Spare Parts.  His prices are reasonable, he ships overseas and I'm sure that you (and other overseas members) would find hime very helpful.  :y

Worth bookmarking his site for future reference.  ;)
