yea but surely if you are just replacing an standard air filter for a standard air filter you have no need to reset the ecu.

20valver do you reccomend me re setting the ecu after i toped up my washer bottle?

Don't worry about it mate, the guy just chats nonsense.

Answering the original question, though, no you do not.

so when you put new spark plugs in you get more powerful spark and this would mean you need more fuel and when you put a K N 57i induction kit this would mean more air going into the engine,
so then you have to re set the ecu to compensate for this
