Does anyone have a photo of a genuine VDO MAF sensor ?
Evening all, does anyone have a recently purchased genuine VDO Maf sensor that they could take a photo of for me or does anyone have any pics of a genuine one ?
Reason is I have recently purchased a "Genuine VDO" Maf sensor but when it came it does not have Siemens stamped into the underside like the one I have taken off and am just looking to clarify that what I have is the correct part.
Although it came in a white VDO box this had the clear tape cut and re sealed with brown gaffer tape and the sensor was packaged in shredded cardboard.
I have emailed the company and they assure me it is a genuine VDO item Thanks in advance
Chris.

mine was the same, no siemens/vdo stamp, looked to be blanked out but was in a genuine sealed box, works though, world of difference from the old one

Thanks for the reply, just maybe a bit suspect as the original clear tape was cut and then sealed up with gaffer tape !

See below photos of Genuine, OEM and Aftermarket MAFs.

Alas no picture from the underside of the OEM MAF, but from memory it looked the same as the Genuine though without the LR p/n inscription ('MHK100620'). Also note the Siemens/Continental VDO p/n printed on top of the sensor as well as the pin numbering on the connector. No p/n or pin numbering on the Aftermarket sensor.

Both genuine and OEM have two filaments in the sensing element, the Aftermarket a resistor and a blank - this is allegedly what makes the pattern MAFs unreliable.

Lastly the plastic injection of the Aftermarket unit is clearly of a lesser quality, at least cosmetically.

That is exactly what I had - for both the old and the new part. Appears to be much the same, but with logo etched out. Spoke to the place I got it from, can't remember the exact reason I was given, but I was satisfied with it.

Anyway, I installed the new part, and going for a drive with a Nanocom connected, the MAF values are in the range expected (as opposed to before when they were something close to zero and unchanging, this was with the old sensor connected, and with no sensor connected).

Made no noticeable difference to running of car though Laughing

Does the Britpart have a resistor instead off a film? I think I have a broken one like that and have a proper one now. Very Happy Roel

I've got both.

Yes the britpart one has a resistor instead of a film.
both seems to work ok. i've ran the britpart one for over 5yrs and have switched over to the VDO one a few weeks back. From the land of the most expensive land rover defenders on planet earth. At �125k for a XS 110 csw and you get to own it only for 10yrs! Please find me a good reason to stay on this island.

Sorry to dig this old thread up. But it doesn't seem worth making another one.

Does anyone know if genuine land rover maf sensors always have brand markings on them? The one im looking into which is apparently genuine, has no markings on it at all. For a TD5.

Thanks

Will get you a photo tomorrow
