Filter for Carbonio?

(1/2) > >>

WhiteHartMart:
Just bought a Carbonio 'copy' from ebay - wondered what I should do about the filter (it comes with a K&N).

Is it worth just leaving the OEM filter or is that defeating the whole point of the intake?

Oh and if its worth the change, how likely is it that Mr Clumsy here breaks his engine cover??  :wink:

I would stay away from K&N, oily filters can cause issues with the MAF  :sick:

I've got a proper carbonio filter (used) for sale if your interested :-)

Sure the one's that come with the carbonio are pipercross, that or get a ITG or similar.

stealthwolf:
It's very difficult to remove the cover and very easy to break it, as i've found out!

cmdrfire:
ITG filter. Your Carbonio-copy (you should buy legit really to support the developers) will have not too much effect without a decent air filter.

If you're scared to change it your VW shoppe will do it at your next service; hand 'em the replacement filter and just say "instead of the paper filter put this in."
