Found a source of reman OE 3.0i Mafs for $29/shipped. Not affiliated
Hi, I am not sure if this is allowed here, but if it is, I wanted to share a source I found for A1Cardone remanufactured OE MAF's for the 3.0i's for $29/shipped. I have no affiliation w/ the seller, they appear to be a surplus wholesaler who has a bunch of these. I ordered one and received it and the box is labeled made in Germany and the MAF is a recertified OE hot wire unit.
In case anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mass-Air-Fl...72.m2749.l2649 Considering this is cheaper than the useless Chinese aftermarket MAF's and it's a real OE unit I figure it's worth a try. -Steve |
Let us know how it goes. Normally I wouldn't touch a cardone part with someone's else's d*ck. But if it works... Hard to argue with that.

I am no fan of Cardone mechanical parts like recirculating ball steering gears. I can't say I've ever used a remanufactured electronic component from them before. I'll report back with how it goes. My existing OE maf is working fine but I saw the price on these and had to buy one.

Pretty good price, even for debugging. Thanks for the lead.
I will guess that as with many reman electronic parts, in this case, "remanufactured" means "tested" and maybe even wiped clean. |

Unless it is a Siemens MAF it could be a VDO MAF also made in Germany, VDO wasn't used as an OE supplier for the MAF.

The MAF is a critical part of the fuel/air mixture system. I never install an MAF that is not an OE or OEM part. My guess is the scope of remanufacturing and selling an MAF for $29 is that it has only been cleaned, maybe not even with MAF cleaner.

The Cardone $29 MAF I received looks identical to my original one except the Siemens marque is milled off like in the above photo. I logged a few hours of driving and it is working fine. For the price you can’t go too far wrong.
