Default BOSCH offers remanufactured MAFs

Well, at least they do in Germany. Here is the number:

0 986 280 124

Cost in Germany, without VAT: Euro 348
Core charge: Euro 180 Euro

The German owners claim this is very aggressive pricing. I have no idea how much we pay for MAFs in the US, and whether these are available over here.

Nicole, any chance you could price one for us. I dont speak fluent German but i know you do! he he

Would any Bosch supplier be able to use that PN? I wonder what the description would list. Wether its 928 specific or if it was used in some other car in the 80's-90's

Just updated my above post. Exchange rate is very unfavorable right now - about $1.30 per Euro.

At 348 Euro = 452USD plus carriage on both the exchange unit and on the core, it is still more expensive than my rebuilds from my distributors in the US - 350USD.

My price is Germany is also competitive with their price.

What does Bosch do to rebuild them and what sort of warranty, without that a low price is of speculative value.

This is an interesting bit some surfing turned up.

Bosch have been offering rebuilt MAFs for a long time, only surprise her eis the price.
In April last year they quoted me
"Bestellnummer*0 986 280 124 im Programm. Der Preis beträgt CHF 982.80 inkl. MwSt"
That is over 700 US$....

Smith Motorworks has 99 of the same units for sale on eBay for $915.00 plus shipping.
