4.40.4 Air Filter Housing, Cleaning
Note
♦
Heavy dirt accumulation or dampness can cause an incorrect
mass air value. This causes lack of performance because a
lower injection amount is calculated.
♦
Please follow all waste disposal regulations!
♦
Cleaning is charged separately.
– Check mass airflow sensor and intake hose (clean air side) for
salt residue, dirt and leaves.
– Check drain hose in bottom side of air filter or dirt and adhe‐
sion, clean, if necessary.
– Clean air filter housing (upper and lower sections) of salt res‐
idue, dirt or leaves, if necessary clean with vacuum.
Note
When cleaning air filter housing with compressed air, observe the
following: To avoid malfunctions, cover the critical air carrying
engine components with a clean cloth.
