Mass sensor

Post by Bodyboarder » Wed Jul 18, 2018 5:23 pm

Hi all ... where’s the best place to buy a new air flow mass sensor?

I obviously need a Bosch one , as that’s who makes the oem ones I believe ?

Bmw want £250ish
Euro car parts £190ish
On line looks like £70-120!

All Bosch ones

What’s the catch ? :wink:

BMW = genuine Bosch (with BMW premium)
ECP = probably genuine Bosch
Others = who knows how 'genuine' they are, but if it's from a reputable supplier you should have the right to return

Yes tried cleaning it .... it could be a vacume issue also . Saying a brake booster valve issue and Mass issue . So could just be the brake booster valve that needed changing , as I’m guessing this would have an affect on the mass readings . I’ve ordered that already and just finding out about the best place for a new mass sensor as well :thumbsup:

German company, usually one of the cheapest, active in most eu countries. I've ordered dozens of parts from them.
Sometimes it can take a while to get them (sometimes you dont get all parts at once).
I think they have a service that you can return unused parts (100day free return) for a small fee at checkout.
