Gxe Stock Air Intake Warning
Just thought I would pass this along, when you wash your car with a pressure washer put a rag or something to block the air intake behind the driver side head light.
I didn't the first time I washed MAX and some water dripped down into the air tube then got sucked into the air filter. Needless to say there was an emediate drop in power.
I caught it right away and changed the filter but I'm sure if it was left that way for long it could effect other systems.

I see that the head light assembly is there to block the rain water but I thought the higher pressure water was getting past there.

Yea, it dosen't happen in the rain. But when I wash the car the water gets in there. The seal looks OK maybe mine is just screwed.
