Panel Filter on FR TDi

[SeanCorky]

Is it a worthwhile mod?

What are the benefits?

Who's got them and which one?

I've got a green cotton panel filter mate, got it with my dpf delete so it's been mapped to suit, it seems to let the car spool up a little quicker, but not much. It's ok, but i think performance gain will be minimal

I've got the pipercross panel filter and again it's supposed to give a performance increase but to be honest I haven't noticed any

Ive got K&N Panel Filter fitted the other day and car seems to Spool abit quicker , Carnt test it properly with all this ice around


The reason why i think ive seen a bigger difference is the old paper filter i took out was filthy and wasnt letting hardly any air through ,Old owner has obviously never heard of taking them out and cleaning cr4p out

Think i'm going to get one, 3 posts, 3 different makes!

Pipercross, K&N or Green Cotton?

I had Green Panel in me Ibiza and was gonna get one for Leon


But Awesome Only Sell Pipercross and K&N so i thought might aswell try something different

You have had a lot going on there, it is more likely the DPF delete that is giving the faster spool up -a green panel also has an edge over the other types too.
