K&N panel filter
Always fit a K&N panel filter with a new (to me) vehicle. I recommend this seller as the price was best plus received it the next day. Thanks

What a rush!!
Very straight forward to fit. Better than cone filter me thinks. Has'nt chucked my EML light on like other filters had.

Simply the best!
I swear by these air filters, whenever I buy a new car it has to have a k&n filter, it's trouble free, so easy it install and really makes a difference. You'll notice the increase of air as it gives you a nice whistle.

Great filter
Have had this in my Golf MK6 1.6 TDI since July 2016. No complaints, can't say it seems to have improved fuel consumption but I haven't exactly been closely monitoring it. So easy to install and includes a sticker that tells mechanics not to replace the filter (I'd be livid if they did). Pros: Easy install as long as your able to use a Phillips screwdriver. Includes warning sticker Includes a badass K&N logo sticker to make even the most mundane car look race ready. Cons: None apparent

ZERO GAINS TOTALY WASTE OF MONEY
ZERO POWER GAIN, ZERO FUEL GAIN, NO CHANGE AT ALL. Huge total waste of my money makes no difference. Questioned to vw group and the answer was simple : 1. Newer vehicles are controlled by numbers to meet emission standards : The ECU uses closed-loop control, a control scheme that monitors outputs of a system to control the inputs to a system, managing the emissions and fuel economy of the engine (as well as a host of other parameters). Gathering data from dozens of different sensors, the ECU knows everything from the coolant temperature to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. With this data, it performs millions of calculations each second, including looking up values in tables, calculating the results of long equations to decide on the best spark timing and determining how long the fuel injector is open. The ECU does all of this to ensure the lowest emissions and best mileage. ENGLISH = ECU comes programed to perform to match the emissions, it doesn't matter how many air goes in will still be the same. 1. Garages says : you need to mess with ECU to make the use of more air ( REMAP ) 2. Fuel specialist : you cant see any difference in fuel economy in air filter, only removing the weight of the car 3. This is absolute waste of money in TDI engines as they are very strictly calculated

Easy install, lets see if it lasts to 50,000 miles!
Easy to fit, good quality. Hard to tell if it has improved the performance of my 2010 2.0l 170 tdi without putting the car on a dyno. My old filter needed replacing anyway. Says 50K miles before needing a clean and oil conditioning.

Chegou antes do prazo, a caixa estava um pouco amassada mas não danificou a peça. Instalei no carro e deu tudo certo. Excelente qualidade, recomendo.

Esto es una reseña real y testeado diesel: Precio: indica 120.000km durabilidad( ya será menos dependiendo ubicación ) con sus lavados y tal , son como 8 recambios de los normales aprox. Rendimiento: los diesel de por si van sobrados de aire, por ello no vas a notar una mejora abismal.. de echo la mejora solo se nota en bajas, en mi caso ... Ayuda en la respuesta ya q el turbo le cuesta menos generar presión xq le entra aún más aire sin restricciones. No ganas caballos, ganas respuesta. Características: la temperatura del aire de admisión tb se reduce .. ambiente 30° / admisión 35° --- de normal alcanzaba los 39° 42° , de ahí que muchos indiquen que hay menor consumo, xq en esos grados hay mayor concentración de oxigeno para comprimir. También al tener algo más de respuesta si eres de los que le gusta pisar pasará todo lo contrario , gastarás más , a más respuesta más diesel , nada es gratis , pero en un viaje relajado si baja algo el consumo. En 50km a 130km/h de llevarlo a 6.2l bajo a 5.8l no es gran cosa, pero es algo a tener en cuenta. Recordación : si eres de los que te gusta tocar el coche, darle algún capricho al motor sin duda merecerá la pena .. si eres de los q piensas que el coche es echar gasoil y listo sigue con los de serie. Esto es como el q compra aceite a 100€ xq le gusta tener lo mejor en vez del de 60€ ... Pues esto es en vez de 25€ filtro pues 68€. Es mejor que el de serie? Si La mejora es notable en diesel ? No Se nota el sonido del filtro en diesel ? No , pasas de cafetera convencional a Nespresso , se sigue escuchando más el motor. Espero os sirva ya que llevo aquí escribiendo un buen rato. El vendedor lo envío bien y todo perfecto
