HELP!!!!!!!!!!
« on: 06 March 2004, 01:16 »
I ordered my K&N 57i kit... BUT

It said in the shop "for use with Golf mk3 GTi 8v (MAS)"

as opposed to the 91-94 Golf with the Air Flow Meter... So I chose the MAS one (as I use the Hitachi MAS on my 97 Golf)

BUT... I read K&N's website and it states (as well as Demon Tweeks)

NOT FOR USE WITH HITACHI MAS!!!!  ... WHAT OTHER MAS's did VW use on the Golf?????

Which Kit DO I NEED??? ...  HELP there was only 2 to choose from!

Part Number is - 57-0099


1997 VOLKSWAGEN  Golf III 2.0L L4 F/I GTI 8v w/MAS,exc.Hitachi MAS (not available in the USA)


Only other ones are the 16v version and the Air Flow Meter one...

HELP ME!!!

I dont even have the kit yet, and it was *cough* Halfords *cough* ... i live in the hills ok, no other places near here.. no performance centres!

Ive found a new K&N tho:

Engine: 2.0 GTi 8v - Hitachi MAS 115bhp

Year: Jan 94-Nov 97

Part Number: 57-0437  


Ive requested this to be ordered, but its not on their system  ...

Will have to wait until Monday till I can find out i they can get it...

Something like that it shouldn't make any difference where you purchase it from..........apart from price..........its the same product.

just go bug halfords to sort it out. I did that and got ?60 leads for ?40 cos the ones I had before were faulty and they'd been discontinued.

Its easier to spend the extra ?5 and have the thought that its easy to return!
