Hi:
trying to get a few cars working again. Pricing things, it appears some prices are substantially lower than before.I just ordered a MAF that apparently fits 87-93 240 and 740. From China, 2-3 weeks delivery. Called Advance A.P. for fun, $150 and order. Probably from China. But local warehouse. I just ordered from China direct brand new $33. A MAF does not appear that complicated. Purchased genuine Bosch under car fuel pump, filter, pressure valve? 5 years ago, $188? and I really search for prices. Saw "universal fit" with adapters a little cheaper. NOW, direct from China what appears to be a clone of Bosch unit, exact same connections, $20-30 range. As good as Bosch? Probably not. But how complex can a Bosch unit be? My Lenovo's are made in China and Singapore, PCI cards come straight from Alibabba in China, should I buy a (current price) Bosch price around $100? I'm planning a Chinese order as spare, only question the $20 or $30 unit? AND, I think the in tank unit that IPD sells is used for something else (Chevy?) so find what it really is and look it up too? Anyway, thoughts? I prefer OEM but with that price variance for what appears identical units seems tempting.Thoughts? Still looking for tools, BTW. Thanks! I will be trying the MAF in 3?? weks and let everybody know, FWIW.
