Air Induction System

All engines are equipped with:

• Replaceable dry-type air cleaner element (ACL element) (9601) .
• Engine air tray (9A600).
• Mass airflow sensor (MAF sensor) (12B579).

The air cleaner assembly is attached to the RH front fender apron (16055) .

The air induction system supplies clean air to the throttle body (9E926) and operates as follows:

• Outside air enters from an air intake in the engine air tray through an opening in the front fender apron.
• In the engine air tray, air is filtered by the air cleaner element .
• From the engine air tray , the filtered air travels through the mass airflow sensor and air cleaner outlet tube (9B659) to the throttle body .
• The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is also supplied clean air through a fitting on the air cleaner outlet tube .
• Air induction noise is effectively tuned by means of the sealed cover with integral resonator, which is part of the mass airflow sensor .
