I've got a K&N filter in at the moment, just wondering if there is any better filters to go for? i Heard that some people do see an increase in MPG after using the K&N, this could be the cause of my high MPG.
-
I would use the OEM paper ones. :happy2:
-
Do you not recommend an uprated panel filter? i thought it might be better for my remap on the car?

I had a panel filter in my old TDI MK5... i ended up taking it out because it made no difference and they require maintenance. The paper ones you just replace every 20K

+1 for OEM. Upgraded panel filters are a total waste of time.

oem all the way mate :happy2: its a diesel no point in fitting a fancy filter, the torque is what counts :laugh:

I have a PiperX in the Golf, got it very cheap but can confirm it does nothing for performance...... :sad1:
-
I had a itg filter in and took it out

I found Panel filters do very very little, maybe a miniscule difference in responsiveness. I did however find that a proper Induction kit on the 2.0 TDI did actually make a noticable difference, especially at higher revs. although this would only be on a mapped car to be honest.

I have read people saying the k&n filters can damage maf sensor due to the oil, and a dry filters better but i am not a mechanic so only what other people have told me.

Tbh I knew anyway, the paper one was fooked, and for the price you did it for it was no brainer, your conscious is clear pal! :drinking:

I'm going to put a OEM filter back in today, just wondering if i should get the MAF cleaned so that any oil from the K&N is removed?
-
Have a search on the web theres loads of info on it, thats where i saw it. On here people seem to use dry filters like pipercross. I am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong.

I'm not sure if you want to only replace the filter or up rate your intake all together.
While helping some 2.0TDI members on ED38 a few weeks ago I stumbled across this intake APR have designed and released to the TDI owners.

Sorry I know I seem to mentioning the APR brand a lot lately. But you simply can't deny they are basically catering to every VW and Audi owner these days.

Would be interesting to get pre and post installation readings on a dyno!

I've put an OEM filter in and my MPG seems to have risen dramatically, gone from an average of 28-30mpg to 40-41MPG locally! Hopefully it stays!
