All of them!
Good luck

I called my supplier to ask why I can buy a mass air flow meter cheaper on Ebay and sent the link to them. I figured the parts fell off a loading dock somewhere. They told me this A.M. they had contacted the seller and he would not say they were "Bosch" units. They suspect them to be Chinese knockoffs.
So, buyer beware and if someone gets him to say they are original or Bosch let me know and I will forward it on.

My guess is the insert isn't OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer ).I know what the box & label may say, but it could be a knock-off.

Hey I put it out there...you decide whether or not you wish to buy. He claims it's a Bosch genuine part and has pretty good feedback, I bought mine on ebay and it WAS a Bosch part and works just fine.

A VW part? My understanding is VW parts are Bosch parts as well...at least all the ancillary components on MY MB are Bosch.
