Nissan having a laugh

[Sweety]

Well as some might know my T2 isn't well at the min, so thought i'd give Nissan a ring to price up a new Bosch MAF as the last one I got was £45inc vat 4 years ago. The guy puts me on hold & comes back with £398 told him what I payed last time & he asked me if I still had the paper work for it erm no. Think they have super seeded the part No again as the part No on mine is also for the 3L Terrano

Not sure if mine is faulty so was just going to get one from Nissan again to try & keep as a spare if it didn't fix the prob but yes think it's going to be an ebay job

The china stuff is only getting better as time goes on, you'll probably find they do the job just as well. (May have a shorter life though)

Just try not to buy a Chinese Bosch copy... Stinka will testify to the quality of those!

It's true they may not all be bad, but at best it's a lottery.

Just for kicks, try asking the Nissan dealer for a price on a MAF for a Primera 2.0D as I believe they are similar/same...

[Sweety]

Well the part numbers on mine are
Nissan: 22680-7f406
Bosch: 0281002596
Might try a dealer in Cumbria to see what they come back with TBH i'm sure the ones on ebay have an older part No as I can't see Nissan changing the MAF's or ECU etc on the later models when they penny pinched & left off the front recovery hook & fitted a plastic fuel tank gaurd

[AlexD333]

What year did the plastic fuel tank guard take over?

[panelbeater]

the t2 i got needed a new maf,it was replaced befor i got it,it seams there are 2 types on them,a cheap one like mine was or the dear one.if yours is that oh dear.
if you take the unit out and very carefully with an alcohol and cotton buds it can be cleaned and cane come back to life.

I did some research into this a couple of years ago and found an alternative Vauxhall part that contained the same sensor:

Nissan quoted me £300 for my crank sensor so I went to www.amayama.com and got it for £70. Imported from japan and a genuine nissan part
