Description |
The induction system comprises air cleaner, mass air flow sensor, connecting pipes/hoses, turbo unit and charge air cooler. The system is connected to the throttle body.
Air cleaner
The air cleaner, which is located on the right-hand side of the engine bay, removes particles from the intake air and also acts as an intake silencer.
Mass air flow sensor
The mass air flow sensor provides the engine control module with continuous information on the air mass consumed by the engine. The mass air flow sensor signals are processed by the control module, which monitors the fuel-air mixture needs of the engine.
For more information on the mass air flow sensor, see group 2 “Control module E39”.
For more information on turbocharging, refer to group 2 "Turbocharger system".
