Just to check.... pipercross filter - now for sale?!
« on: 28 June 2011, 19:02 »
My mate at work has a seat ibiza gti 8v 1997. After coming for a ride in my mk4 with the panel filter fitted he has asked me to order him one. I just wanted to check that the ibiza airbox is the same as the golf one?! I know it may be a stupid question but I wanted to check as the only ibiza filters I can find look a different shape??!!

Cheers for the help! Ive ordered him a golf one (AGG).

It turns out that the image I was looking at for the ibiza one was a generic image anyway, but it was still a couple of quid more expensive than the golf one  :laugh:

Was your mate really that impressed by the noticeable difference the air filter made to your Golf?  :huh:

Well, I dont mean he was blown away by it  :grin: But, if youre servicing your car, you might as well spend a few quid on a decent filter as opposed to just replacing the pattern crap thats already in there. There is a slight difference in the speed at which it picks up from low revs anyway so I think its worth it. Every little helps. :laugh:

Ok, thats wrong,I took it out of the box and offered it up to the air box. It looked spot on so I left it with him.

Just had a phonecall saying that its too wide.  :embarassed: :embarassed:

I took a risk in ordering a golf one so I could save him a couple of quid and its backfired. Bugger.

I'll email the seller now and see if theres anything he can do for me.

Anyone want a brand new pipercross filter for £32 posted??  :tongue: :laugh:
