It does have Bosch stamped on it, because it is a genuine Bosch - but it's a Bosch for a VW not the M47r.

I don't know about the full sensor in it's housing that they sell - but it would seem a good way to make it more convincing would be to sell it at that higher price... at that price it must be genuine etc!
029 is the correct part, 032 isn't. Some people in the trade seem to think it doesn't make a lot of difference so long as the result is an improvement on a very poor maf....
I've tried many different ones in my 75, including BMW and VAG (055, 062, Pierburgh 090 etc) and though the car was driveable, it either smoked, ran out steam well before the red line or was flat until the Synergy2's maf compensator was switched on.

WCP are incorrect to say the 029 and 032 are intechangeable.

If any old maf worked, why do Bosch make so many? Because they are all calibrated differently...
