Welcome to the modern car. The TR7 air flow meter is only about $135 Cdn. (87 GBP.) Cheap by comparison.

Most air flow meters for modern cars are available from good motor factors. Not genuine but usually good aftermarket parts. We use them all the time on the Skoda Octavias we work on, Â£65 much cheaper than from the main agent.
