OEM Audi & VW Induction Parts

Factory Volkswagen and Audi induction systems may also get called air intakes, but what they do is more important than what they're named. They draw oxygen into your engine. It's actually an exceptionally important job. To run right, an engine needs to get its fuel-to-air ratio right and keep its cylinders running as cool as possible. No engine wouldn't be able to do that without an intake manifold. Yours works with your engine's fuel injectors. They spray gas through timed intake valves to optimize the mix. How does an induction system know how much air to let in, though? Most vehicles have a throttle body with a mass airflow sensor that feeds information to an engine control unit (or ECU) and oxygen sensor or sensor array. Together, they regulate the proper air level for exhaust as well. This tells the engine when to adjust fuel consumption, keeping it running as best it can. Meanwhile, your engine air filter helps get rid of contaminants like dirt and dust before they can reach the combustion chambers.

What are the Signs of Problems with an Induction System?
