Thought i should post this up to save my fellow forum members a few quid.
Stumbled across a website that sells the popular Jetex filter way cheaper than Jetex themselves:
http://www.part-box.com/product_info.php?products_id=71113
So that is a just over £40 delivered, same filter from Jetex is just over £60 delivered, a significant saving
Now you will notice the filter isn't called a Jetex, but a JR filter.
I ended up going down to Part Box as they are based a mile away from where i work. It is actually owned by Co-ordsport, which was originally Ralliart UK. The bloke down there was telling me that they are having trouble selling these JR filters, saying that no one has heard of them.
Said they have tested them against all the main competitors (K&N etc) and they came out as the best one, pretty much what others have found with the Jetex.
I explained to him that this exact same filter, branded as a Jetex is probably the most popular aftermarket filter in the VAG scene, not to mention other cars too. And that i'm shocked that no one has found out about them before.
It is definitely the same filter as the Jetex, same size, same colour, same reference number (FR 08001), same JR logo on the side, here are a few pics:
So if you want to buy yourself a 'Jetex', buy it from these guys and save yourself a bundle!
