- Turn air mass meter G70(item 2) in direction of (arrow B) and detach. [Note: If the air filter element is very dirty or wet, particles of dirt or water may reach the air mass meter and falsify the measured air mass value. This would lead to loss of power, since a smaller injection quantity is calculated.Always use genuine part for air filter element.Always renew seal if damaged (unmetered air leak).Use a silicone-free lubricant to install the air hose and seal.Hose unions and air intake pipes and hoses must be free of oil and grease before installation.Secure all hose connections with hose clips meeting production standard Electronic Parts Catalogue.]
- Check for salt residue, dirt and leaves in air mass meter and air hose (clean air side).
- Check intake duct for contamination up to air filter element. Clean air filter housing, if contamination is found.
- Clean top and bottom part of air filter housing by rinsing out or using a vacuum cleaner if necessary.
- To install, insert air mass meter G70(item 2), and turn it in direction of (arrow A).
- Fit engine cover panel .

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
