Appears my baby 󞩹 Volvo 240 wagon] now needs sensors replaced ... including MAF.
I've done quick scan re: parts .... was surprised to see aftermarket available.
Some only around $100. Not sure if those fall under 'you get what you pay for' or if they're really a viable option.
Knowing that there are many experienced Volvo enthusiasts here --- would you replace with OE? Or is an aftermarket reliable / acceptable? [Yep, and then which aftermarket brand which you recommend??]
Does anyone clean and rebuild the old ones? Thinking if I DID go with AFT that I should explore having old (assuming it's original) reconditioned/rebuilt for the future.
Briefly - car died, threw belts when alternator went out. ALL dash lights came on. When I picked car up from mechanic he didn't say one word about check engine light being on. Another mechanic checked it, said it's 'running lean' but couldn't find specific reason, and reset the light. We did discuss MAF -- I toyed w/having him clean, but since I'm paying for labor, sometimes it's more cost efficient just to replace part.
Well, check engine light came on briefly yesterday as I was parking. When I got back in car to drive home it wasn't on.
As usual - thanks for your feedback!
