[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

After 5 years and 36000 miles this is what I found.

Following a wash and a dry it is now as clean as a virgin's honey pot.

Replacement not necessary, I think.

Is it that colour on both sides

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Is it that colour on both sides

Slightly darker on the other side. It was still a little wet when I took the photograph.

So one side was darker than the other  Which side was the inlet

Airflow marked on top edge

no its not

It is if you buy a genuine filter instead of a eurocrap one

[omega3000]

Good for another 30,000 miles and saved yourself ten quid 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The airflow arrows were at the bottom of the filter pointing toward the interior of the car.

[Steve B]

think air flows through the carbon part of the filter last IE; White side being inlet..

what you mean eurocrap  it cost a whole tenner and took it 4 days to get here

Yes, although it is hardly white on either side.

I thought that these filters were supposed to be grey.

Wonder if it would come out cleaner in mrs optis washing machine

This is the so called eurocrap one 





I see the carbon is trapped between the layers

I rest my case, genuine would have been a tenner and in stock it even tells you which way round to fit it

But it did come in a nice green box and i got to have sex with the delivery woman

Now that might have been worth a four day wait

[chrisgixer]

Mann filter ?  Had nothing but trouble with them. Yet all the indies use them.

It might look very clean Dr Opti, but just to confirm, do you have access to an air compressor?

If so, put the air nozzle attachment on it and and give the filter a blast from the 'clean' side and see if any crap comes of the dirty/washed side...

Quite a few OE makers use them too,one of the better quality filters well respected in the trade

[kevinp58]

It may be clean but the charcoal part will have gone passed its use so smells will get through
