You could take it to an OBC, but their 11-point check only covers the basics.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Going to clean my MAF with IPO - if that doesn't fix it I 'll swap it out. Anyone know where to source this item other than OPC?

That's briliant news!
It must be fate, as I was just in the process of getting a new dishwasher.
If Lloyd is reading, could you sort me out with a Bosch SMS50E12GB?
Cheers :wink:
I can only access the Automotive side but as it happens Bosch domestic is only down the road at J6 off th M5 and I do have a mate who works there, I could have a word if you like?
I don't know if you are considering new or second-hand dishwasher, but if you are looking for a used machine there are plenty of good ones on the market. Look at the For Sale sections on BoschHeads, BoschClubGB, BoschUK etc.
Service history and condition are paramount, and go for a later facelift model if possible with the improved pump and programmer if your budget will stretch to it. There are some dodgy dealers around, so look at recognised Independents like BoschVirgin.com, JZBoschTech, ParagonBosch, etc.
It is best to go for one of the popular colours like Arctic White, Polar White, Glacier White, Carrera White or GT White. Outlandish colours, like grey and silver, can be difficult to shift when you come to resell it.
Get the highest spec you can, as this will help on resale. Wine glass racks and split cutlery baskets are must-haves. Auto timer is a nice option, but most people prefer manuals – especially if it is a second dishwasher for weekend use.
I would recommend an independent inspection by a specialist. You could take it to an OBC, but their 11-point check only covers the basics. However, you would need to do this in order to get the Bosch Extended Warranty. This is the most comprehensive warranty, and will cover you in the event of a pump seal failure – or indeed a pump motor shaft failure.
Things to look out for are:
Spots of water under the dishwasher – dead centre, between the pump motor and pump housing.
Cracked inlet pipes – you will see evidence of staining on the casing just below the pipes.
Don't worry if the door looks like it has been re-sprayed, as it is common for these to be chipped, and fastidious owners will have them re-painted to keep them in tip-top condition.
Also, remember that this is a Bosch we are talking about, so
insurance
, running expenses, servicing, and parts will cost more than an Indesit or Zanussi, for example.
Hope this helps, and remember:
Bosch – There is No Substitute
:lol:
Hi Dan
I have spoken to Bosch technical who said 996 606 124 95 is a Bosch motorsport product & had no
x-ref's to Bosch numbers...
He informed me that LS Components handle all Bosch motorsport product in the UK?? Never heard of them.
However I did find this very interesting site:
http://apps.bosch.com.au/motorsport/products/products.htm?submit=I+Agree
If we can pin the Bosch number I may be able to get somewhere for you

It's strange but since all the wet weather I've noticed that the bottom of my
Bosch washing machine door is very wet. I couldn't be bothered to read the other

I would ask if anyone knew why? Are the drains blocked or do I need the MAF [male air freshener] replaced?
