Yes 100% really breaks down the dirt/whatever is living in the filter.

Works very well.

I bought the cleaner and oil kit from waxacar. The cleaner is pants and a rip-off to be polite and I also reverted to using fairy or other generic washing up liquid to degrease it.

What would be better, the green panel filter or an open cone induction setup.??
Ive got a green panel filter on my cupra, but thinking of changing it for a cone filter but not sure whether i should stick with the panel or not. Ive had a stage 1 remap and a Bailey DV also.

If you want noise open cone, if not, panel filter.

was there not some issue about oiled filters messing the MAF up? I suppose if you ligthly oil it, then it should be ok.

 

[jaybeee]

^^ yup, there is.

Out of the box the green cotton panel filter is quite low on oil as it were. When you service it yourself then you have to just be careful and lightly oil it on, afaik, one side only (the underside). Also make sure any excess is soaked up with a kitchen towel for example, and then dried well.

 

[oldskool]

so do you have a green cotton filter jaybee?

 

[jaybeee]

^^ yep. Since 2007 i think. Just been a bad boy and not cleaned for a while

dont bother just use the paper 1 cheaper you can get 10 filters for the price of a green and they both do the same job
