jus tpsoken to GSF on the phone and they are saying they have a gen bosch maf sensor in stock but its £58+vat if i tarde in my old one i know thats a good price but how will i know if its gen cause i dont wanna get mugged off
-
GSF do sell gen Bosch ones, make sure they sell you one in an unopened box as they sold me a duff one before that I'm sure was a faulty unit they had taken in as an exchange.
-
Take a screwdriver with you and fit it in the carpark! That's what I did when I went to gsf, got my surcharge back straight away :)
-
thats the plan took out the old one already brother gonna run me over and the one i took out looks as clean as a whistle shudnt it look like it has some kind of wear or anything?
-
Its the element inside which is extremely sensitive I believe. That's what fails.
-
ay i see either way i dropped a second ago so i think its definately fobared its that senisetive lol

Although you take a chance see if anyone is breaking a golf for their maf. I bought a bosch maf plus break switch plus wing mirror switch for 25. Oh and the airbox not pipercross filter was thrown in! Mind you, I mainly did it as my maf was aftermarket and I couldn't get a discount so it was worth the chance!

mine came in a Bosch box, so you will know if its genuine.
-
it's not hard to put a non genuine element in a Bosch housing :lipsrsealed:
(not saying that GSF do this BTW)

I got mine from the local Bosch agent so I know it is genuine.

Actually just realised this was GSF thread :rolleyes:. I bought mine in ECP (eurocarparts) so don't know about GSF. I can't see any big chain like gsf or ecp fraudulently selling parts, they sell thousands of parts every week. That's more of an ebay risk, if you ask me.

I was referring more to eBay parts too

Done an exchange on mine and new ones been fine :smiley:
