I find that if you are pressing the button (and you are sure you are pressing the correct buttons), and the flaps dont co-operate...... a little chlorform helps:hahaha:

Hi,
I'm Mick from Holland, I own a csl SG since february 2012.
The airbox flap does not open also.
I read a lot about the (potentiometer) but where can i find the potentiometer ?.
maybe anyone has a part number of the potentionmeter.

Best regards,
Mick

Thank you for your help, I will order it directly by my dealer.

Try Bmmini parts,it's all oem stuff,but quite a bit cheaper even with shipping.

Just for the record:
I changed the potentiometer as you suggested, and: NOW I know how a CSL Airbox has to sound.

Thank You all for your help.
What a wonderful forum!
