CAI does help in hot weather.

Irregardless of Cold Air, Short Ram, No Air... Whatever...

At the service they said they reset the computer and downloaded the latest software.
The car drove remakably different following this (much, much better).
However now it appears that overtime it tends back to how it was.
Maybe you can reset the computer and it will fix this sluggishness.
Anyone know how to reset the computer safe and easily.
Is this service dealer talk or is there such a thing as updated maps for the CL9? I was advised that Australian dealers cannot reflash the ECU.Quote:

Apparently you can disconnect certain fuses for 30 seconds to achieve the same result (do a search and you fill find a thread on this) - I prefer the battery method.
What's the easiest way to disconnect the battery? I haven't done it before.Quote:
