Title: Diesel air filter???
Post by: davlad22 on 12 November 2007, 02:46:39

So gents (and wags), how about one of these;

Who uses aftermarket air filters? How long do they last? Does it just make your motor noisier? Worth a punt?....What is the spray can in the picture?

Cheers

It just makes it louder......and watch oil treated filters, they can contaminate the MAF sensor.

Unlikely, the OE part is huge.
