Hi, I have a 1997 P C250 TD.
I am experiencing lack of power so assume the maf sensor needs replacing.
I can get a Bosch one for £95+vat (Andrew Page motor factors) or a Pierburg for around the same price. I can also get a cheaper £50+vat Intermotor one.
My main questions are:
1) Does my car have a Maf sensor at all?
2) What is fitted originally and what is recommended to replace the original - bosch or pierburg?
I have been told that either the bosch will fit or the pierburg will be the right one, i.e they are different.
I have also heard this model doesnt have one, or that it has a MAP sensor - whatever that is.
It gets difficult as the car is in Holland (my brother's car) and I am travelling there on Thursday so I plan to buy the sensor here and bring some tools (torx sockets etc) and replace it there and then.
I have already replaced one, on my dad's E320 CDI and know its a 5 min job. That one was a Pierburg.
Anyhelp with the exact sensor I should buy will be appreciated! Thanks
