Airbox size on Leon MK1 TDI

[daveyonthemove]

Can anyone confirm if the Leon Mk1 airbox is the same size on all TDI engines, or does it differ depending on what the output is?
All advice welcome

the 130 and 150 tdis use a bigger maf than the 90/110, so part of the box at least will be different for sure

so to replace my airbox i would need to source one from the same engine?

 

[stoneyfordNI]

at least a 130 or 150

Cheers mate. I thought that might be the case, but it's better to check first.
Anyone know of a 150 TDI airbox going cheap?

Typical...... spent an hour looking for something along those lines, and then you post that once i'd given up!
Cheers mate. I may even price up a brand new one

if its anything like an ibiza box , you have to buy the complete box at 80 odd quid

My brother-in-law and I both smoothed out our airboxes and his was exactly the same as mine (he drives a Mk1 Octavia Vrs) and at a local meet I noticed an Audi s3 had the same box. I imagine the airboxes are all the same price from Seat/skoda/audi but worth checking. Or at least it opens up your choices if looking for a secondhand one.
