MAF Replacement

[bulldogge01]

I got the Bosch MAF for $240 through my local Carquest Auto Parts store. Called it in on my way to work and picked up on way home (no clue where they sourced it). Came in Bosch box and included 12 month warranty. Was nice to not have to wait on shipping and at least I can take it back to them to help if I have an issue.

Running like a new car, swear I got 20hp back...

Hi.
I put one in my 03 2.7 986 today, had it in my tool box for a month + now, but after reading this thread I decided to try the new one out even though my old one is still working fine.
Had a problem with my MAF and it put my engine managment light on, that was confirmed by a good independent Porsche garage about a month ago, the cost of a new one from a OPC would of been in the £100's so me being a tight bugger thought i'd cleaned it with carb cleaner first, and it's worked fine ever since, however when the engine management light came on last month I thought I might need a new one so I found this Maf on eBay:-
PORSCHE 911 996 997 BOXSTER 986 MAF MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR 0280218055 98660612500 | eBay
Item number 370874725806 cost £29.99p not sure how much that is in US Dollars.
Well took the car for a test drive and it drives sweet as anything, no idling problems, no miss fires, pleanty of power, in other words runs perfect.
I will be watching my fuel economy on the trip computer see what i'm getting now mpg as it was on 30.4/7 with the old one and that was on it's way out, will keep you posted when I've done a few more miles to get a good average read out on mpg.
The numbers on the mafs :-
Old one taken out was a Bosch one 986 606 125 01
New one in now has no makers mark on it but the eBay add gives the following:-
Porsche part number 986 606 125 00
Bosch part number 0280218055
Like I said working fine just need to keep an eye on mpg

PS
Forgot to say they even give a 2 year warranty with it.
