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

Its black all the way through , not just on the edges,and full of deceased wasps.

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.

Umm tasty!! Think mine may be ok then. No dark colouring, just nice bright yellow.

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.
