I had replaced my air filter a few days ago with a MANN filter from amazon. perfect fit and no problems installing it. Could I have done something during the install? Would a non OEM filter trigger any problems? I'm thinking of trying to clean the MAF sensor first with a MAF cleaner. If that doesn't work should I try replacing the MAF? Or am I completely off and the problem is with an O2 sensor or something else. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
THanks.
P2188 Lambda control adaptation FRAU (lower load range) - below limit value Possible fault causes: - Incorrect main filling signal from hot-film mass air flow meter - Fuel pressure too high - Injection valve faulty (dripping) - Tank vent faulty (does not close completely)
