k&n panel filter

[james2]

k&n or green air filters are the best at stopping the finest dust.pipercross are better but let it all through (dust) .

i`m 50/50 on this one, as i`m sure the pipercross are supposed to be oiled but us mk4 owners choose not to for the mentioned reasons.

errm yes they do, dirt penitrating something.iv still got it.Why use one that dont stop dust? my pond filter is finer foam than pipercross and cant keep the pond clear .Why do hoovers use paper filters, to stop dust coming out the back of it .If it was a pipercross filter without oil ,it wouldnt stop dust.

Wrong on all counts, I will take a picture of the box sometime it says special non oiled for vag group cars to avoid issues with the maf, I think the older ones did need oiling but they are now a dry foam type design.

Wrong again, many people are using them all ok as posted many times they are the best choice to avoid problems.

Why cheap, if it ends up causing maf issues you are not really saving any money in the long run.

Nope they are a non oiled filter.

Just to clear this up.

This 3 stage foam Pipercross air filter is specially designed for VAG engines and does not require oiling (dry filter) for extra engine protection. Simply just wash the filter at service intervals and you're ready to go again!

pipercross do come with a tin of spray ,god knows whats in it  might be something to catch dust  but why no cleaner.I loved washing the k&n with its cleaner and seeing all the dirt wash down the drain.

Errrm no they dont.

Ermmm panel filters DO NOT come with spray 

Why would a FILTER not stop dust

ah, there we go, that`s that sorted then!

its not a oil ,its a spray ,ill find link . god i wouldnt trust foam ,cant even keep my pond clear.Greens better than k&n ,you just paying for the name. Green makes better filters were they silicon the rubber to the cotton it dont soak into the cotton and restrict it that tiny bit.

Are you for real? Pipercross make filters for a range of manufactures, the special foam is MORE than up to the job.

Do you really think they would / could sell a product that doesn't do what it is supposed to? Its a filter it stops crap from getting past it end off.

I have run one for over 5 years and thousands of miles
