    Question MAF sensor td5

    Hi all
    A quick question on Maf sensors.
    There are a heap on ebay for around $60 which all appear to be a generic brand and there are others like a vdo sensor for $150 and some that are around $340.

    Is there a particular brand which is best to buy?
    I want a quality sensor.

    Cheers
    Mick

    Whats VDO stand for? I replaced original with a cheap oem one on ebay works ok maybe dont last as long as others expensive ones but for the price you can replace 3 plus.

    VDO is a brand name
    Why spend the same amount of money on 3 units that fail after xyz months and give poorer performance, when you can buy a good one that lasts xyz years and gives perfect performance?
    Doesn't make sense to me...

    Yeah gotta agree.
    When it comes to sensors and instruments you should always get a quality item.
    The cheaper maf sensors are made in china and I dont trust the reliability.
