How would you know if your air filter needs replacing?? I have no idea how old mine is, but, it looks clean.

I have just replaced the one in project EP4 with a genuine one. The filter that was in the car was a Halfords one and was half the thickness.

The halfords ones are pretty poor in comparison to Vx ones.

I think service interval is 2yrs, but I tend to change mine annually.

Service interval is every year, it's the carbon filter in the air con that's every 2 years.
