i have just fitted my BMC induction kit tight fit but its on now TCS light is on and engine light is on any one no what/why this is? and how to fix, and if any of you have the same could u send me some pics please

cheers
 
have you accidently disconnected you maf sensor?

if not how long has the filter been on for? as if there is oil on the filter this sometimes makes the maf sensor to not function.

failing this VAGCOM is your friend....willl tell you whats wrong.
 
i have disconected some plug from standard air filter as there isn a place for it on the new one but on the site i have found a BMC Air Flow Sensor Connector so im thinkin it might be that what u think?
 
This "plug" is it an electrical plug or a hose? Have a feeling you may have removed your MAF completely... :)
 
Have you removed this, between the Air filter and the top jubilee clip?

If so, thats your MAF.
 
yer thats the one, i emailed the bmc sight last night and they said i need a different one a special version so gonna hve to sell this one and buy this more expensive version i think, :\ unless u guys have any ideas ?
 
Do you have a camera phone maybe?

I can see no reason why you'd have the MAF disconnected, with that filter, but you need it in place.

The only reason I can think that you may not have both fitted, is that you may need some silicone hosing to be able to join the case of the BMC, with the case of the MAF. (ie a joiner) As at the mo, both connections on the MAF and th BMC will be plastic so wont fit together?

Am i right?

If so, you need to measure the diameter of the BMC connection, and the same for the MAF, and then have a look at the forge website.
 
i have taken pics just need to post more than 15 posts to upload them or some think,
i have to connected MAF plug now with a silicone hose, but the light is still on, and my TCS light is on 2, any more ideas?
 
Thats because the codes need to be cleared.
Either with Vagcom, or by disconnecting the battery for a few mins.

If you fill in your proflie properly with your location, maybe someone local to you, would be able to give you a hand with Vagcom.
 
Uh Oh......

There used to be a map on the forums somewhere where you could tell who lived around an area, but I cant find it at present, otherwise that may have helped you.
 
ha sorry dont realise i doin it, my mate said to pop down to his work tomorrow and see if he can do it for free, and hopefully that will be my prob sorted, would the MAF plug affect my TCS light? as thats on too
