diagnosis was $120... and they gave me a clubman s with 100+ miles on it as a loaner... the fake carbon look interior is gross though...
i'm sure a few bucks more added onto everything else gets somewhat close... but since i need a car and it's going to take a while to gather parts and then try and do this myself... i'm taking the convenience route this time and having the dealer do it... i shopped around and prices were floating around $1200... so it's not terrible... especially since i get a loaner...
picked up the car monday evening... all the work was done... no warning lamps... dealer was aware of the check engine light i had going in... which was the p115c code... the tech gave me some information regarding the cel light and it's most likely because of the filter... i told him i'll look into it... i was going to switch out the k&n filter intake with the stock to see if it would get rid of it but since they had cleared the code... i wanted to wait for it to come back again... usually it comes back pretty quick...
so far through normal driving... no cel light... it hasn't come back... i don't know what to make of it... could the coolant leak, water pump, thermostat cause some irregular readings in the maf?
all i know is after the trip to the dealer to get a different problem fixed... everything seems perfect now
I don't know. I agree with you. Leave the K&N in there & see if it pops the same code again. If so then I'd swap out the filter. Is the filter a drop in? I know folks running them that have had no problems.
originally i removed the entire stock airbox... then fitted a k&n cone filter to the maf... after a while it threw the same code... one more thing i tried was added a 90 degree pipe between the maf and the filter... it threw the code again... so i had given up and was going to go back to stock when i had the time... but ended up having to take the car in for the coolant problem...
plenty of time has passed and i have made no changes to the intake that i installed... the cel has not come back... no more coolant problems... and i get to enjoy the sound...
