Default CEL for Gruppe M

I installed a gruppe M air intake a couple weeks back. I have only driven 450 miles and finally got the CEL today. Any way to fix this without remapping the ECU? Anyone else experience this? Anyone that has installed this intake without a CEL?

I had mine on for a couple months with no CEL. Then when I was driving it on a 250 mile drive to trade in I suddenly got it. Did not have my vag so could not check. The dealer did and it showed as running rich and cleared it. Not sure if it came back since I left car with them. I know others who got a CEL a couple times early on and they cleared it and eventually never came back

Since the Gruppe M is on my shopping list, I would like to kindly ask you for some feedback regarding what you think about it? Did it noticeably increase the feel/power/torque/sound in the car?

You need to probably scan the error code, and take it from there. My guess is either its loose or the K&N filter probably killed the MAF

How does one go about "scanning" for the error code. Have never done or tried. Help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Go to Ross-Tech and buy a Vag-Com: http://www.ross-tech.com/

Best money you can spend on your car
