Did the Airbox mod, BUT!!

**Jabbekot** · 11th April 2010, 18:18

I just did the Airbox-mod on my 2008 Vectra CDTI 150 hp and installed a K&N-filter element too, but when I started up, the Exhaust-light in the dash stayed on.. I then realized that I forgot to connect the wire-loom. I got out of the car and did this, but I didn't turn off the engine. The light was still on. I tried to turn off the engine and when I started it again the light was still on.. What do I do now????????

em lights stay on for a set number of starts after a signal - try starting the car 20 times see if it clears. I would say connecting it with the engine running is risky.

I know that what was stupid.. I can see that the car uses more fuel than before too... I think I'll try to disconnect the battery to see if it resets...

I've got it sorted!! I disconnected the battery and when I reconnected it, everything was fine... Grrrrrrreat!!

Was going to say disconnecting the battery should work but now I'm going to have to do it myself because I'm STUPID!

I put the key in the ignition and turned to ON so the kids could use the DVD player and watch something while I did the K&N filter and never thought the car would be reading the sensors so did the change now I have the EM light on!!!

Car drives fine so will d/c battery later if fault doesn't go on its own. Seems to pull slightly better too from low revs but maybe that's a placebo effect because I expect it to be better!
