Mk8 GTD Air Filter
« on: 05 December 2021, 23:41 »
Does anyone know if there is a perfomance panel air filter avaliable for the mk8 Gtd.

I've had a look online, but cant find anything.

Thanks.

David.

I doubt the airbox is any different between the petrol and diesel models so in theory any GTI/R filter should fit but VW Racingline do specifically list the GTD for their filter - https://www.racingline.com/air-filter-golf7r-gti-gtd-audis3-vwr11g701

Was - 2015 Tornado Red 3dr GTI PP, manual, Santiagos, Audi short shifter.

Biggest waste of money since dangly bits of rubber attached to rear bumpers were invented.
My parents had one once and I still decorated the back of my mum’s hair with recycled Sunday roast quite regularly.

Add a tuning box to a GTD and you’ll have something to smile about.
Add an oily filter and all you’ve got is an excuse by VW to wag a finger at you about warranties.
Seriously they do nothing unless you have a lot of other tuning going on. Diesels suck a lot of air so just cleaning your air box out once in a while and banging anything loose from your paper filter will keep it running just fine.
