MAf sensor, Bosch NLA Topic is solved

Post by **Clemens** » 06 Apr 2021, 21:21

So it seems that the Bosch MAF sensor for the 850 Turbos is no longer available. My reference number Volvo 1275749 brings a price of 275 bucks or similar.
Wondering if this part is still the OE Bosch unit or cheap aftermarket. Surprisingly fcp Euro states that Bremi is OEM for that part number.

I was thinking about getting a new MAF just in case as long as the good ones are still available, but I'd hate to spend money on a part of less quality than the old one I have.

Hold your cash. Count on your friends in the US to scavenge a good one or two and we will get one to you overseas cheap.

Is it the same mAF 1992-1998 turbos?

Oh, that sounds great.
They should be the same for all Turbos till 98 and also on 97 and 98 NAs (don't know for sure, but various dealers claim that).
It's not urgent, but I'd like to have a functioning spare around because I have 2 25+ year old ones in my cars and used parts for the B5234 are really scarce in Austria, probably most of Europe.

I’ll buy a couple with fpdd funds and make them at cost if you can afford per the usual rules.

I think the 1998 Na use Denso MAFS if I recall?

Yeah, sounds good, I'm in.

If 98 uses Denso, then no 98 NA. It gotta be Bosch.

All 98 P80 use Bosch. No Denso,

Denso for 99-00 NA motors.

Clemens....find Bosch car service in Austria or Germany.
It's authorised Bosch dealer(service).
Bosch 0 280 217 107 is still available in EU brand new.
Their price is around 250€.
The same OE part in Bosch yellow & red box and you don't pay double price for blue Volvo box.
Bremi is NOT and will NEVER be OE maf!

Interesting, Misha, I will try to contact a Bosch dealer.
All major online dealers including Skandix list the Bosch part as NLA, so let's see.
Bremi: I don't think so either, but FCP stated that. Hard to believe. Usually they are good on OEM.
