When he says its too big, is it way too big or just a few mms? ie. a tight squeeze?

I say this because in my experience and from what I've read, Pipercross filters are always a tight squeeze (in other words they are manufactured a few mms too large  :grin: ) and you haev to really squidge it into the airbox and then clamp the lid down on it before it can pop up again.  Thats what I had to do on my mk3 16v.. tell him to try that if thats the case  :cool:

Cheers, I rang him after I read this to make sure but he said its definitely not the right size.  :embarassed:

Now I can see me having to order him another and try n sell this one. I doubt the seller will have any sympathy for me as I tried to order a golf filter for a seat ibiza  :grin: :grin: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
