I recently installed a MAF I bought from Eeuro and it also came in the Hudson box. It said Audi, Volkswagen on the box. I compared it to my OEM one I was replacing and they looked identical, even the bar coded sticker. My car actually runs better with it, so I am fine with that. We are seeing more and more of this because Saab is gone and outside suppliers made a lot of the individual parts for Saab (and all cars in general) in the first place. Manuafacturers just assemble the cars anymore, they rely on a wide variety of stategic, ever changing suppliers that are specialists in their field for just in time delivery to keep production lines going without keeping excess inventories of parts.

The only time it gets bad is with Chinese knock offs in the aftermarket business, some of this stuff does not even resemble the OEM part, like Swedecars clutch cable. I have not been impressed with the ProParts Sweden stuff, or some of the ScanTech stuff before that. In the name of saving 12 bucks, I bought a PPS expansion reservoir thinking how could they possibly F--- up a simple part like this, but it leaked at the seam right out of the box. Euro promptly refunded my money and I bought the "official" Saab unit from them.

Eeuro has been fine with me, though shipping not as fast as it was in the old days. Ownership changed, but I remain a satisfied customer for the last 12 years or so.
