Induction kit or a panel filter upgrade?

 

Intake kit. New filter and filter housing top k&n no. 57s-4000

 

The air reader probably doesn't know what to do with all the extra air.

 

Fault code is saying about lack of air so I'm really confused

 

Do you have a picture of the kit?

 

Hi minimadgriff I'm at work at the min will try taking pic when I finish and posting it. What info was you after?

 

Just need to see the kit, so I can try and help. Did the kit come with a maf housing?

 

No it's just a k&n filter and a new modified filter housing top

 

Even if you run the car with the standard filter housing top still brings EM light on

 

was it fitted spot on like the below?

Also did you disconnect the battery for half hour? The ECU will need to 'learn' about the increased air

 

Was the filter heavily oiled? Also did you disconnect or remove the MAF?

There is a chance it is causing turbulent air flow, which is upsetting the MAF. MAF sensors are very fussy.

To be honest on a car like this I wouldn't have bothered fitting one with a modified box. Cost vs gain isn't worth it. Edited by: minimadgriff

 

Filter was fitted correctly as per instructions have double checked instillation many times. Have disconnected battery but not for 30mins does this have to be done for this length of time? Filter didn't seem very oiled in my opinion. I have disconnected the maf sensor only to clean it incase it was contaminated with oil from the new filter.

 

Hi, have you sorted this out, im facing the same issue i couldnt find a solution, thanks in advance

 

Hi Folks,
Glad I found this (P00BC thread)as my OBD reader gives slightly different codes? Just completed a service and found the O.E air filter element had collapsed in a few places so fitted a piper cross replacement (better airflow and won't collapse as the paper one did?) all seemed well until approx 200 miles later when the EML light came on, however car ran perfectly as before??? Cleared the fault as I couldn't decipher the code and a thorough check later I couldn't find anything wrong? Next trip 25 miles down the road and same again! Took note of the code this time and within all the letters and symbols is indeed POOBC! I was on a 170 mile round trip so took a chance and erased the code (I know!!!) however completed the journey without issue, so am I right to assume that the system has now "learned" the change in airflow? As the previous guy did I also cleaned the airmass senor with the correct cleaner spray, furthermore mine is a replacement element not a complete induction kit.
