K&N 57i on a 1.6 mk1

Has anyone fitted said filter to their cars.

I keep reading about being careful when removing sensors, can anyone clear this up. The instructions dont say anything about removing any sensors. Just says to take the AFM off of the air box… help please 

Hi,

When fitting the kit the only thing you need to do to make life easier is unplug the AFM connection, it has a metal retaining clip so be careful it doesn’t ping out and get lost (I spent 10mins scouring the driveway!!).

The whole airbox is removed and there should be some metal bracket thingies in the K&N Kit to suspend the AFM on. I managed to remove the airbox without removing the AFM from the car, leaving the hoses on it.

 

Hi

I unplugged my AFM but this was just in case I pulled it off. Follow the instructions and take your time. It a 20min job tops.
