It wasn't worth the hassle to go through their warranty process so I just bought another one from ebay which has been fine.

I bought a Bosch airflow meter for my S8 from them a couple of years ago, and recently I've been feeling like its gone bad again, but kept telling myself 'its a proper Bosch one, it can't be bad in only ten thousand miles'. I wonder...?
This. Don’t want to think bad of ECP’s, but it doesn’t look good for them from mine and others’ experiences. I’ve heard of Bosch items from ECP’s failing quite often, on here and in ‘real life’ which doesn’t sit right with me, Bosch being Bosch...
