Need Help! Injen CAI - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sarah · 05-28-2011, 08:15 PM

So I've had my Injen CAI for about 1.5 Yrs. and of course this comes with a Windshield Wiper Replacement Bottle.
My Issue is that it didn't come with its own cap and tells you to use the oem cap, which apparently doesn't fit on mine, which is causing it to spill constantly and having to purchase fluid every 3 weeks or so. Just wanted to know if anyone who purchased the Injen CAI if they have the same issue and what you did to resolve it.

I have searched high and low in the area for a cap that fits and several auto parts stores, trying to avoid buying one on the internet, but looks like i might have too. If so, where did you get yours?

I don't have a injen intake but if I did I would be calling or sending emails to injen asking about this. I wouldn't tell them you have had it for over a year thou.

Yes some had problem wit that exact thing i believe. They ended up shipping a new washer i think.

Kurushio · 05-29-2011, 11:11 PM

That just fit's over the oem cap, that won't solve the problem.

I thought someone on this board had one that fit on the Injen. On mine it just doesnt latch down for whatever reason and i figured that is a screw on it might work. I havent done a measurement on the nozzle to find out.

The cap in your link you just use silicon and put it on top of the oem washer cap.

Kurushio · 06-23-2011, 08:19 PM

Ive been trying to email Injen tech support but ive never gotten an email back. It's kinda irritating that i have so use tape to keep washer fluid leaking everywhere.

HopeRidesAlone · 06-23-2011, 08:23 PM

it is tight to get the cap on when i did it took a couple tries to get it to sit right maybe make sure it is sitting fully down on the bottle

MikeL · 06-23-2011, 08:56 PM

I would give them a call and see if you can't get the bottle and a cap direct from them.

The Stig · 06-23-2011, 09:08 PM

Mine fits. It took a few tries to get it on, but it fits. I would call Injen, that would probably be your best bet.

If you are having to replace fluid every 3 weeks, I don't think all you fluid is leaking out the cap. Yes, the caps fit a little loose. I only fill my bottle 1/2 to 2/3 full to prevent spillage. However, in your case it sounds more like the bad seal problem where the pump is located. Continue to try and contact INJEN and have them send you a new seal.

Yes, mine is loose only in how it snaps closed, not tight, but I dont loose fluid. I suspect the motor grommet also.

Id love to call them but they do not deal with the public, only wholesalers and vendors.
