New Air Filter

Pipercross used to supply their filters with a can of spray to keep it lubricated. I used to give it a spray every now and then and it was fine. What model Leon is it for?

I should of mentioned mine wasn't on a Leon. They should just be ready to use out of the box.

I just installed a pipercross this evening, absolute ballache to fit. It came pre-oiled, any more would be over-oiling it, I'd say.

You only need to re-oil the filter after you give it clean. It should come pre-oiled.
You need that oil to work in conjunction with the filter to trap particles.

These sort of intakes killed 2 MAFs on my old HDi so I stopped using them as they are pretty pointless on a derv anyhoo

I really want to fit a stupid cone filter on my PD170. I know the standard airbox is better than anything but it would purely be for noise. Just don't want to fork out £150 for a K&N kit as the universal ones don't have anywhere to connect all the hoses to.

Just tricky getting the engine cover off as it's attached by 4 grommets, and then the filter is inside it.
