WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER FIT A CHEAP COPY SENSOR TO YOUR CAR !!!
More & more reproductions - predominantly asian - are swamping aftermarket part sources. Detailed analysis of MAF reproductions compared to Bosch or Hitachi identified these deficiencies in quality and performance:
Impact on your car of fitting a non genuine MAF:
Unacceptable curve deviation, consequently inaccurate air mass measurement
Increased fuel consumption up to 20%
Bad engine characteristic (drivability), loss of power/torque
Danger of engine damages, due to thermal & mechanical overload (full load)
Danger of exhaust system damages (catalytic converter)
Increase of pollutant emissions, violation of emission standards, higher particulate emissions (Diesel), smoke emitting (full load)
Reduction of lifetime and service interval due to:
Bad materials (deformation)
Low fatigue strength (cracks, breakage)
Low-grade connections within the electronic circuit
If you see a MAF for a very cheap price, it will most probably be a reproduction copy made cheaply in Asia with possible problems & issues listed above
You get what you pay for. It's false economy buying a cheap copy sensor as they only lead to more problems and future expense
