Air Filters + SEAT Servicing

[Chaz]

Am I right in thinking that if I change the air filter on my car, the service should be a little cheaper as they are not having to change the filter??

What serivce to SEAT change the air filter?

Changed every 40k service.
Costs about a tenner or less from GSF or Eurocarparts, worth doing once a year as turbo cars suck a lot of air, diesels more so.

erm,, what I meant is that I am taking the OE filter out and fitting the Carbonio CAI... Therefor am thinking this will make a difference when I take the car to SEAT for serviceing!?

Is the car still under warranty? If so be careful as some dealers can get funny about it. I replace mine with the original whenever it goes in.

[Chaz]

yep - its only 18 months old..

if they get funny remind them who's paying the bill.

[Chaz]

thats a good point....

if they don't want to sell their over priced parts with their expensive labour, then there are no end of garages that can do it.
