of a reason given by someone who has a financial interest in you buying something from them.

I've been publishing the Bosch equivalent numbers on the web for years and, other than this one one "he said" claim, never heard of anyone having a bad experience with the Bosch part.

It doesn't have the Porsche part # spray painted on, isn't in a Porsche labeled box and isn't marked up. I can do without all three.

Would Bosch sell a substandard part thus risking their reputation? That doesn't ring true to me.

I've know many MAFs which lasted 100k or longer, some much longer which disagrees with another of his claims. If the air cleaner is not oiled and is kept changed so the MAF doesn't get dirty...

UK owners seem to have a different relationship to their OPC than US owners do with their dealers. Different warranty schemes too.
