Looking for a panel filter
« on: 17 January 2011, 20:35 »
Do any other engines have the same size air box as the tdi 130?
I know the maf is bigger but is the actual box the same?

AFAIK the panel filter is the same size across the entire MK4 range apart from the lower petrol models - think they have a difference air filter

Just buy a Pipercross filter for £35 or keep using the standard filter from VW for approx £15
