They look pretty cool to me, might add that extra bit of bling under the bonnet...
& seem to have a valve in them too! like audi filters do (or so i'm told) ;) not to mention a 1 inch nut for easier removal if stuck.

Never used one but if its anything like the air filters then youll be ok with one.

Do yourself a favour too.
Get a big ring magnet off of a loudspeaker or out of an old hard drive ( theyre neodymium and will squish your fingers they have so muchpower) and attach it to the end ( over the nut) of the filter to further trap magnetic debris.

I did this when i rebuilt the golfs engine and after itd been run for a few hours i took it off, cut the filter open and could see the particles sitting on the end of the can.
Stops it from being cycled around the filter. :)

Never had an issue using the original filters. What is supposed to be the advantage of this type?

WOW! Thats clinched it for me ......NOT!

just thinking , SONY could start selling oil filters maybe as well? same as regular filter, but costs you twice as much! :D


i was only looking at it from the point of view of a bit of under bonnet detail..

PMSL!!!!

Yes,I dont know of one person who has bothered buying one of these.

Would be good to see some sort of real test comparisons,if one was really BORED!!!:D

They do look nice, well, as nice as an oil filter can look. Are they mega bucks?
Bet they're a million pounds........
Never seen one, bet its mail order with fifty quid postage.
"fffff" K+N! Waste of money.
"Release 400 BHP with one of our filters and over priced bracketry!"



Few holes in the air box and a reasonably priced panel filter and you're laughing!

Sorry, don't know what came over me then... :o
