Maf Sensors

Found Maf Sensors on Ebay... Thinking about buying them. I bought from this guy before and he has really good feedback.... How safe would it be to buy Maf Sensors from a 30k Car

MAFS are really a consumable part, almost like spark plugs. At 30k miles, they could easily be fouled and worse than useless or they could be ok, but not for much longer (a lot of people change them at 50k miles and report a benefit). If the owner had any kind of air filters other than stock paper (e.g. over oiled K&Ns), they could be fouled in only a few thousand miles. Personally, I'd skip these and buy the VW MAFS that can be had for around $60 each. You don't need the whole housing so long as you buy the correct torx security bit to remove the screws (or you can do what some others do and just hacksaw a slot into the screws and remove them with a flat blade screwdriver). Or just take out your current ones and clean them with spray on MAFS cleaner (made by CRC). Do a search and you will find out more than you ever wanted to know about MAFS. Why do you want to buy these?

"Is it the sounds that make a BMW a BMW? A BMW is designed to be heard, felt, experienced. So our engines sing. Our steering talks back. And we insist on offering manual transmissions in nearly all our models for drivers who crave them. The result is an almost telepathic oneness with the car. Just as surely as you can hear a BMW, a BMW hears you."
