Possible other source?
Has anyone ordered the MAFs from here:

BMW Air Flow Meter ( Sensor) F00C2G2029

They have the right part number and appear to be a Rover application.

37,000 miles - The cost was $350 for the 2 MAF sensors and the security torx key to remove the screws. I did the Buy It Now, and they were GREAT at communicating and offered to send me another torx key after I thought they hadn't sent me one. It was taped to the bottom of the box....if it were a snake!

WOW that's $55ish each?? no way....

The website says it REPLACES the original Bosch part, AND they say the sell aftermarket parts...

So....be careful...

OK, so I installed new MAFs (VW ones) around 20 k miles ago (110K on the clock now) I ran couple tests. Best numbers I got was 103 on 2nd gear and 97 on 3rd. I clean mafs every 4k miles with MAF cleaner. Should I be worried and start looking for new MAFs or I'm still ok? Car runs great in my opinion, no SES ligts or hesitation. Maybe small misfire when I start my beast cold, but once again- no SES light. I'll try to clean MAFs again and run a test and will see what numbers I get.

Yeah, it ii litters per hour. I guess I have to buy new MAFs, this time OEM ones, since VW were good only for less than 20k miles.

Can someone help me? I'm trying to do the MAF test and I can't seem to get into the system. The instructions say to turn key to pos 2, put seatbelt on, hold right button for 5 to 10 seconds. If by right button they mean the press/turn knob on the bottom right of the nav/stereo unit then its not working for some reason. This the know opposite and identical to the left knob that turns the stereo on and adjusts volume right?
