MAF Recommendations

[NJG]

I need to get a new MAF unit, for my 01 cupra. (£113 original)
Are there aftermarket ones available? or should I stick with the original Bosch unit?
This is the second one I've had in 2 years.

Have you got an induction kit?

 

[NJG]

No, all standard.
Iv'e had the jeky performance problem, and had a new dump valve and MAF units\ coil packs etc (all standard). Car behaved itself for a while, but now playing up again.
Had it tested, and was told the MAF unit is faulty. Again!

Thats good going if your only doing one a year!

Go to some where like GSF or Euro Carparts and get an exchange unit for around £75

I have just replaced mine (yesterday) and it was £75.20 from seat, i had to exchange my old one,i took a screw driver and swapped it at the dealers that way i did'nt need to pay the £20 surcharge. £113 is alot, is that a dealer price? i used seat in Derby. i also have a 01 cupra.

 

[NJG]

Yes, that is dealer price fitted.
Am I stuck with an original unit type?

How easy is it to replace, & more to the point, where the hell is it?

Cheers

you mite be able to get it cheaper if u get a mk4 golf one, as when i had my golf one changed it was around 64.95 from gsf on a exchange basic for a bosch maf, just need to match the engine code up

Look here -> http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showpost.php?p=1411938&postcount=24 as it looks something like that.

Don't let the stealer change it as its not difficult to do and won't take long.

It'll be the same as the Seat one funnily enough as they share the same engine

 

[jay87]

yea thats what i meant, but for some reason the golf ones are normally cheaper, as they try and sting you for having a SEAT, as its "not as popular" were as every1s got a golf, worth a try anyway

I got mine sent from Ted Johnson on this site. Really good service and it was £64 once I have sent the old one back!

Definitely go for a Bosh one... I have tried ebay copies and my car just hit limp mode and I got orange fairy lights on the dash board!! Not good!
