K&N induction kit not fitting advice

[JamesT]

Hi all,

I bought a k&n induction kit for my 9n3 gti, it's the one made specifically for my car, however I'm having trouble fitting it! Part of the installation is to put the filter adapter onto the maf, however the maf is about a mm to big for the adapter, should I get some sand paper and remove a small amount of rubber to make it fit? Or is there another way as its only a mm preventing it fitting!

Cheers

Try a bit of fairy liquid and or heating the pipe in a cup of very hot water

Or heat it up with a hair dryer or heat gun, last thing you need is water in the air intake

All sorted now and sounds fantastic under boost! Thanks for your help!
