anyone no any good places to get a cheap maf sensor also does anyone no what the valve is called that needs replacing when u change the y breather hoses on octy mk 1 vrs any help is appreciated thanks guys

get a genuine one from vw, the eBay ones are ****e and don't work.

I have a genuine spare one mate. £30 posted.

Get the MAF from GSF, theres a surge charge so make sure you take the old one back to get money back.

The Y hose has just exploded on my car,

I beleive its called the crankcase breather hose, and i replaced it with one of those blue silicone ones from ebay, about £20, works perfectly and the engine mil light has not come back since.

I bought a GSF MAF for a mkiv Golf a few years ago, & the car was undriveable. Wouldn't buy one from them again! Never had a problem with a new genuine VAG MAF.

Wasn't aware that you have to replace a valve when fitting a new Y breather pipe, I certainly haven't the 2 times I've had to do it on 1.8T's

The MAF they gave me is manufactured and branded BOSCH unopened, so .... i dont know what they gave you back then but ive had no trouble since.

Bosch is the standard fit MAF.

am not sure of the valve either but took it to revo who fitted my dump valve and induction kit scanned the car with vag com who said it was the maf that was shot also needed to replace the y breather pipe and some sort of valve but am really not sure of what the valve was i was quoted around 12 pound for an oem valve just not sure which part i am looking for

i can do one on a staff sale if that would help you out and post it if you want to pm me

would this be the same as the one you ordered as this is the one i was thinking of getting http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Silicone-Crankcase-Breather-Hose-Skoda-Octavia-Mk1-1-8T-/360337507827?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53e5ca05f3 as i belive it will fit but any clarification on this would be good thanks guys

Yes that would fit ok.

ive just perchased and fitted a crank breather pipe to my octy 1,

i got the pipe from a company on ebay called creationmotorsport.
