hiline 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Anyone got experience in the best place to get one?Had the diognostics done at vw dealer and the said £400 fitted with throttle boddies cleaned. europarts is 190 + vat.Might gamble and get a 2nd hand 1 from the scrappy.[ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 How late is your Golf? If it's a highline, you MAY still be eligable for the £75 exchange scheme VW do for MK4 et al owners. The Corrado's OBD1 MAF had that deal pulled a few months ago, so now we have to stump up the full £378+VAT. It's damn outrageous that they charge that much for one car and only £75 for another. Bastards.Check with the dealer.I wouldn't use a s/hand one as chances are it will be as bad as yours.If you can find a local garage that is an authorised Bosch technician, then you can get new MAFs from them for £150 exchange, or £200 new.
