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

Thanks very much. Thought the vdo might be the way to go.

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.

I think VDO are the original equipment manufacturers for this part.

edit, or was is Seimens?

VDO is owned by Siemens :)
