please tell me this is NOT a green cotton filter

[Phil_beeza]

it says

mann filter

C 2295/3

made in germany 050314

and is many vertical flat panels, which are sort of yellowy/light green

and is what was sitting in the filter box

 

[Sisson]

Thats the standard set-up.

Get a green cotton one, and a PD160 intake for more airflow...

 

[Phil_beeza]

thats all i needed to know - the performance im getting now isn't the green one ta!

 

[muddyboots]

Yes that's a bog standard paper element.

The Green filter is.....green.

 

[rashcupra]

flourencet green and about a fith of the thickness of that standard element!

 

[hon_n_gem]

good old restrictive air filters! i need to get myself a panel filter!

 

[devonmikeyboy]

Changing the pannel filter isn`t going to make much if any noticable bhp difference until you do a lot of other mods to the car.

LOL please, don't expect much!

 

[Phil_beeza]

im doing the pd160 at the same time. well, filter first to notice any effects, then tube a few days (ok, hours) later.

picking up the pd160 tomorrow

 

[rashcupra]

as said dont exspect any more power but if you mod the airbox you can get better sound

 

[Ad Lav]

Someone did get 11bhp out of a pd160 pipe and the mod to cut it about and a panel filter iirc, davefr130 or something

 

[rashcupra]

maybe on two diffrent rollers but 11bhp

 

[Ad Lav]

Before and after remap apparenlty, i'll try and find thread...

 

[acidstrato]

if it was before an after remap...how can you tell what the mod did?

 

[Ad Lav]

True... the engine could have been putting out more anyway...

Its by MIKEY H, on page 7 I think, title All PD Owners

Not in the real world unless he had lots of other mods already fitted and did the airfilter last. The stock KKK turbo on a PD130 doesn`t blow that much air plus the stock airfilter system is fairly good antway so even with an exhaust and a remap i would be very surprised to see more then a few bhp from fitting a panel filter etc.

i got a k&n and all mine reallt did was let the engine breath more and rev quicker with little extra performance then my Fr exhaust did the same ontop then my ecotek valve did the same ontop but give me better mpg to (sits around 30mpg ouch! can get 35 if im nice (still terrible)

 

[Jonto]

i have a green one for sale for a 1.9TDI if you are interested?

 

[rashcupra]

the 1.9tdi should fit all bigger engined ibiza's
