- Bosch / Siemens VDO parts will also give you the best Performance and MPG.
- You may only get 6-18 months using an cheap aftermarket unit.
- Cheap aftermarkets unit give you 10%-20% less mpg - well work out 10-20% of your yearly fuel bill that's how much you could potentially use if you use a cheap part!
- Why would you want to loose any BHP / Drivability in your car fitting a cheap part??
- To summarise yes they are more expensive to buy but will save you money in the long run and give you more SMILES PER GALLON. FACT!

Basic test for faulty MAF
(at owners risk, will only work on some vehicles)
Simply by disconnecting the harness wire going to the MAF, then go out for a drive. If most of the problems have gone, this will usually mean that the MAF needs replacing. Do not drive your car for long periods of time with the MAF disconnected as premature wear / engine damage may occur. Replace a faulty MAF asap as it will pay for itself with the increased fuel economy you will get. A Faulty MAF can lead to 20% + less MPG. Just work out how much 20% of your year fuel bill is!
