BOSCH 0261230289 Original Equipment Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor - Compatible With Select Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Saturn

Extremely pleased with this purchase for my 2002 VW Passat 1.8T. It is almost one fifth of the price from my local garage - but is exactly the same product! I was a bit dubious at first, but I searched on the Bosch website for my vehicle model number - and up came this part number. So I was confident that it was the correct part, but thought maybe it was manufactured elsewhere, so perhaps not so good quality? But I was wrong! This is a 100% genuine full-spec Bosch part manufactured in Germany. See the pictures of the packaging I have uploaded. The sensor comes complete with a full installation kit and has the proper connector already fitted. Some other sensors don't include this and you have to fit the connector yourself. It is now installed in my car, and it works perfectly. I wasn't sure if my sensor needed replacing but after replacing half a dozen other components in the vacuum system and still having the MIL light coming on, I thought it worth a try, especially at this amazing price. A couple of tips if you are thinking of buying one. Firstly, do NOT remove the protective cap from the sensor until you intend to install it. It is there to keep the special lubricant in place so you can remove it in the future. Secondly, you must remove the old sensor whilst the exhaust is hot otherwise you can't get it out. Be very careful, protect your arms and hands from burns from the exhaust and engine block. Thirdly you must use a special 22mm oxygen sensor socket spanner, they are about £10 - but its impossible to remove without one. It appears to be a recommendation to replace this (upstream) sensor every 100K miles. My car has only done about 65K but the sensor had been contaminated with a silicon sealer used to seal the rocker gasket. Oxygen sensors do NOT like silicon - mine worked but was slow response, reduced the engine power output and caused lumpy idling. Much better now.

good

Perfect example why you should choose the proper OEM part. tried a cheaper make and it caused all sorts of problems. replaced with this one and perfect driving is back again.

All parts good

OK

Failed after less than 500 miles, sadly 2 months after purchase and Amazon won't touch after a month. Last one lasted 8 years. Pretty poor all round, states a 2 year warranty but your left high an dry by Amazon, as usual!

Original OEM MAF. Works as expected.

Arrived exactly as planned & described, highly recommended! Only thing negative in this purchase is Amazon says that they honor the factory warranty, but they don't tell you what that is. After ~20min on the phone with Amazon they still couldn't give me an answer. So they get an F for having their consumers research that basic information for them......... After I called Bosch directly I was told that it is 1yr; just an FYI.

I purchased 2 of these sensors for my 2008 Dodge Caliber. Easy to replace once you get the old ones out. Fixed my code p0038 . Engine runs better now and went thru reinspection. Great price and arrived on time.

Fonctionne super bien et a première vu est de meilleure qualité que celle de AEM!!

Works great with my KTM Duke 790

Got this Bosch MAF sensor really fast to Alaska. It was brand new in the sealed box with security seal. It was for my 2004 R32 turbo. Plugged right in and worked perfect Scanned with my Vag-Com and everything was exactly working the way it is supposed to. The best part is the "Stealership" wanted $320 for this exact part and it was on here for more than half that. Cheapest price online anywhere. Thanks again will defiantly buy again when the time comes.
