k&n panel filter
« on: 15 October 2011, 09:56 »
Is it true that k&n panel filter destroys maf? Fault in ecu memory as low airflow at maf also have after cat lambda monitoring fault. Lambda fault more likely caused by maf, but have 3" APR down pipe with high flow cat to miltek exh.

i think its the oil from the K&n or any oiled filter that kills the maf.. try spraying some electric cleaner onto the sensor..

Pipercross is a better choice as they are a dry foam type.

Nick at R-Tech did a back to back test with my smoothed airbox/green cotton filter/DSG intake combo and then no lid, both results were exactly the same  :smiley:

The issue is that K & N are oiled and they can cause the maf sensor to fail, whilst the dry pipercross does not suffer the same problems.
