K&n Air Filter Ecu Reset?

[LarryD]

Hi everyone, just wondering does it make a difference to reset the ecu when

replacing the oem air filter with a K&N panel filter. If so how do you do it??

yes it will make a difference matey the k&n is a free flowing filter re-setting your ecu will let the car re-learn the air fuel mixture.

you remove two fuse's or disconnect the Battery.

Two fuses you remove are:

take out 20/25amp efi fuse

take out 15amp etcs fuse

for 30 secs

Make sure yor ignitions off when you do it tho, best to have the keys in your pocket that way you'll know for sure it's off.

If i'm correct, even if u dont reset the ecu after changing to a K&N, the car will still alter the air/fuel mixture accordingly but will just take a bit longer. I put a K&N filter in mine the other week but havent reset the ecu but I think that it has helped with the response of the car.

Yeah I think the ECU will re-learn anyway. Just that if you reset it then it's starting from scratch, so is likely to learn more quickly, as you say.

No harm in resetting the ECU- in fact most people recommend resetting the ECU after installing a K&N filter/performance filter.

Yep any engine change you make it's bet to reset the ECU for the changes to be learnt much quicker - this also applies of you change from regularaly using 95RON to higher grade petrol.
