evening all, i just wanted a bit of info on replacing my maf sensors, i am a first time owner and have never done this before, i must also add we are in the uk, I have read hours of threads on the board to do with this so armed with my bosch part number and my limited knowledge i started to look for some today, and have been told that basically within the uk i cant buy the sensors as a single item i have to buy the whole unit, but that i should under no circumstance just change the sensors but to do the whole unit, but i have read many threads on here to say that just the sensors can be replaced without a problem, Also they say that afterwards i have to reset the ecu adaptations, which is something i have not read in any of the treads and do not understand.
So then i started to look at the american site bimmerzone which i have seen regularly in threads and they can supply the sensors on their own, but we have been told that they will be different to the uk one as the torx holes and screws are different sizes and there is also problems when the car is running on idle, but again on threads ive seen uk owners say the replacements from u.s are fine.
I would really appreciated any advice on this just to point me in the right direction
thank you all very much lisa
