How to clean K&N Filter cleaning K&N air filter.
Fixing Black Smoke & P2282-52 Code with K&N Cleaning Kit and a mass airflow sensor cleaner. The results gave me higher MPG and power back!
Today's episode I will be clean my K&N air filter not only as part of regular car maintenance, but I have had issues with black smoke from the exhaust and rough idle. I picked up a new car scanner the Autel MaxiAP AP200 OBD2 Scanner which flagged the P2282-52 code, pointing to a possible clogged air filter or dirty sensor. Instead of replacing the sensor, which costs £100ish, I’ll use a £30 cleaning kit to solve the problem. Which has worked great!
