Where to buy a maf

ballo1000 · 05-10-2014, 12:06

Following everyone's quick responses to my last post it would appear I have a defunct maf. I've had a quick look on fleabay but can only find cheap patterned parts and I've been stung on them before on my old bravo hgt. Where is the best place to buy genuine parts like a maf, is it main stealer only?

Thanks in advance

Forgot to add, it's a hitachi one

Local motor factors , would be good.Don't go down the cheap and cheerful route.It will pay in the long run to get a genuine one . Don't know the price of yours mine were bosch.

I just had to replace mine - also hitachi

I work in the trade and tbh the ones from eurocarparts etc are ok still not always brilliant,

this is the one I bought comes with 12month warranty same as a motorfactor will give you and fair price

For the money he knocks them out at I'd risk a 2nd hand one from James

Be careful there are two types, the one t2cris has highlighted does not say if it is Hitachi or Bosch, the pic looks like Hitachi but may only be a representativ pic, Rick

t2chris · 05-10-2014, 20:01

This is the one I ordered for Hitachi as the part number corresponded but is worth a check against what yours has at the moment.

Right I'm gonna hop on this thread a bit as my maf died on the way to visiting rick today, it's been on its last legs for a while but now going uphill booting it engine light comes on and is looses power, all the typical symptoms.

We use euro car parts, they wil more than likely get one delivered to my work tomorrow, does it matter which one I get?

All I know is that I need one ASAP as I am traveling tomorrow afternoon

ballo1000 · 05-10-2014, 21:42

I went on their website but couldn't see any so assumed they didn't do them. I might be able to get one trade if they do

AlexD333 · 05-10-2014, 21:51

Same, I should be able to get 20% off if you catch my drift

solarman216 · 05-10-2014, 22:40

Alex send me the numbers off the two MAFs you have, Rick

Will do dude, will have to be tomorrow though

About to go sleep

Alex if you have the MAF with the later part number like me it's £400 from Nissan

& is the same as some of the 3L models but the earlier/cheaper ones won't work on your motor either

but there was a thread on here where someone found out the mega costly MAF is used on some Vauxhall's & is 1/4 the price you just have to swap the MAF into the Nissan housing as it's different
