Hi guys
Can you kindly point me to the right direction, looking for a proper place where I can have my air intake leak sorted as I got the fault code P2279 and have learned it's has to due with a leak.
I don't wanna take it to the stealership as they have the tendency of messing up with cars that are out of warranty.
Thanks in advance

Are you sure it's a leak? Maf can be dirty as well and then that code pops up.

The only symptom that I have identified that might be related to the leak is the hissing noise when accelerating or starting the car - especially when it's cold
It was the first time getting this error message and EPC light

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on
