it could cause starting issues the EMS would kick the MAF up thinking its faulty possibly a good way to test is use your V6s air filter if its goodish in the tractor same size and see what happens:y


im only experianced with petrols so diesels may well be different!

That does pretty much some up what it does though. When you found your filter box and removed the top & the filer panel from it, you'll find sand, bits of leaves etc at the bottom of the box. Without the filter panel in, that would have been drawinto you engine. The filter panel is especially important in a dry dusty environment!  :y
