This 2010 Mini Cooper arrived with the MIL on and a complaint that the vehicle lacked power since having the air intake system upgraded. The vehicle had numerous faults stored in the DME.

You never mentioned it, but I assume you switched the mass air meter around in the correct orientation?
Hi Pete,
Yes, between time marks 3:16-3:20, Scott describes how the vehicle was brought “back in, flip the Mass Air Meter around and take it out for another test drive.”
