Thanks mate.

£142 AKS Tuning (Genuine)
vs
£35 Just German Parts

Hmmm

Hmmm indeed.  The £35 one will 100,000% be a Chinese knock off.  It's the engine's primary load sensor, not worth the risk.

If £142 is too much to stomach, the next best thing is the Hitachi one from CarParts4Less (EuroCarParts sister company) for £110.  Hitachi were the original OEM supplier and you won't go wrong with that.

Ignore the 'Huco' or whatever label on it, it is the proper part.  Hitachi keep rebranding themselves.  They're a good brand. The genuine MAF and that Huco Boss one are both made in the UK, it's the same thing  :happy2:

What is the fault code?  Don't waste your time cleaning a MAF, it does absolutely diddly squat.  If it's anything like "Short to Ground", "Short to B+" or "implausible signal - intermittent", bin it.  They just wear out over time.

If unplugging it with the engine running does nothing, it's definitely dead.  Another check is with a scan tool on live data.  If the MAF reading is too low (less than 2g/s at hot idle) or it doesn't move, it's dead.

Cheers Pudding, although the £35 sensor arrived yesterday and is already on the car  :laugh: :scared:

It did immediately clear the fault code, however are you saying it could cause damage, or just likely to fail quickly? Thanks
