Mercedes MAF

LiQuOrIcE · Aug 29, 2003

All i can say is that it feels like i have a new car!!!

Cant believe ive been driving my car like it was, best £47 spent on my car!!!

turbo_gti · Aug 29, 2003

Explain..... ????? Im confused how come you changed maf mate ? especailly to a Merc ?

Chris · Aug 29, 2003

You saying that a Mercedes MAF fits the Golf, and its only £47!?

Cracker · Aug 29, 2003

Yes, if you read the Maf threads, one guy replaced his faulty maf with one from a Mercedes Diesel which was apparently the same but only cost £47 !!!! Obviously, it only related to the oil burners but it is still a damn site cheaper than the VW one and the Diesels seem to be the worst affected with the maf problem..

LiQuOrIcE · Aug 29, 2003

Yup, my MAF was knackered big time by the looks of it!!!

The merc MAF is also Pierburg or something which is aparently a lot better than bosh!!

Is is definate they only fit diesels?? I cant believe the diference....i just assumed you couldnt redline diesels, but it spins round to the red quicker than it used to get to 3000rpm.

I used to get to 40 by the end of my lane, just done it at 65.

As i said, cant believe ive been driving my car how it was, never knew the 110 could go this well!!!!

Great news Joey!

I always thought that the MAF was the same throughout the Golf/Bora range..?? Mine's deffo knackered.... if i can get one for that price ill be well chuffed!!

fran · Aug 29, 2003

Yeah let me know if thwy are the same Chris mate that would be good!!

Sem · Aug 30, 2003

This is brilliant news, I thought my MAF was ok but i'm going to try the Merc part, can always keep it as a spare when the VW MAF eventually dies.

Is your MPG better now?

Do you have a part number Joey?

LiQuOrIcE · Aug 30, 2003

MPGs are better on the run i.e. at 80 i was 2900 rpm today, last week at 80 i was at 3200rpms.

So much more power now though, so im using it so probably not better in the end!!

Rivage · Aug 30, 2003

Feels like how I imagined it would with a chip or tuning box fitted with the new MAF in place.... Had mine wheel spinning in second gear, even with 225 section tyres - By accident of course!

Chris · Aug 30, 2003

How can i find out if itll fit on mine?

My MAF is a different make from most others (Hitachi).. can guys on here with petrol and diesels cross ref their Bosch MAF Part No.s so we can see if the petrol/diesel models are the same?

Please! [

there are different MAF's for petrol and diesel

unfortunatley this merc maf only applies to diesels (its from a CDI merc)

Doesn't make sense at all. Rev's will NEVER be different at any given speed from one week to another - unless you've fitted massively different sized wheels (ie wrong rolling circumference). Cause the gearings never gonna change no matter what you do to the engine!

LiQuOrIcE · Aug 30, 2003

Everything was the same apart from the MAF, i always travel at 80 on the motorway and the REVs were definately different!!!! i also get to 100 a lot, lot quicker (only done for test!)

Chris, my BOSCH is either 'F 00C 2G2 027' or '869 04 1 B' both them numbers are on it.

mh · Sep 1, 2003

i replaced my maf with an original bosch and i get 2900 rpm at 80 too [

this merc maf is giving the right results with the standard 110 engine

i've read on tdiclub that people are getting mixed results

Hoofingbloke · Sep 1, 2003

Have you got a part number for the merc maf??

LiQuOrIcE · Sep 1, 2003

Part Number A 611 094 00 48

Price £47.58

Hoofingbloke · Sep 1, 2003

Thanks mate!

Worth keeping in mind for a rainy day?

Having just had mine replaced under warranty 6 weeks ago, and my warranty finishing in a months time will they still honour the 1 year guarantee on the MAF i have just had?
