pd160 intake?

[knight85]

only drove it this morning and had no fuel (hahaha) so didnt deck it but can feel a slight difference...not sure if thats me wanting to feel the difference or not....seems to be a bit louder and can hear a bit more turbo woosh...again not sure if thats just me!

can feel the strut brace tho......i reccomend that!

will test it more when i fill up later tonight

Lol ok, might have to take the plunge and buy a new one! Cheers mate

 

[knight85]

i would wait for a 2nd hand one to come available on here

honestly i have waited a month and about 3 or 4 came available but was too late to buy it as they get snapped up quick! perhaps buythe green filter new but the intake is only a piece of plastic far to expensive for my liking....

just keep checking the accessories for sale section daily and one will come avialbe soon!

 

[Chriswaite130]

Yeah lol, i seen one advertised yesterday but you beat me to it! will keep my eyes peeled!

 

[knight85]

hahahah yea...i was quick coz i know how quick they go....been let down by 3 people who have promised me it but they lived either up north or too far east so i would need them posted...and a lot of people just prefer collection and fortunately this guy lived realitively close to me so i collected!

keep the faith and keep looking...check fleabay too, they come up every so often

yeah put it on last night...took 2 minutes...very easy change over, will put pics up tonight on my readers ride thread

also put on strut brace, that was easy too just have to moce the water bottle and a black sensor to get to the bolts underneath...

lol, i wanted both of those items from him, guess i was too slow

Happy with the purchases anyway mate?

 

[knight85]

yeah so far, put them on late last night so only drove to work today...having few bits done today in garage so hope to have it back later!

yea i rang him at about midday and he put them on the forum at about 10i think. I asked if he had checked his messages etc...he said no, "your the first person to ring me" i was over the moon! been after these parts for ages (well a month)! I said that he would have a full inbox by tonight, these parts go very quickly....

good luck finding some more...check skoda forums...they use them too

nice little test, certainly proves the point, shame its not an independant test which allways make me suspicious. Surprising how poor the K&N filter is,

AMD technic use dry pipercross filters according to the forums, i cant find these on their site does any1 now the part nos?

the wife clipped a hedge/gutter yesterday must of hit a piece or rock or something, took a chunk out the alloy and punctured the brand new tyre (1 day old) car looks like its been through a rally ;(

I can see why I dry filter would allow more air through, but surely the whole point of having a lightly oiled filter is to allow it to trap the dirt and dust particles that would normally go through the cotton filter.

indeed, the pipercross are foam tho, and from my rather limited knowledge are also normally lightly oiled, but not the these ones. abit worrying really.

i s'pose a lightlty oiled even slightly over oiled green cotton filter may damage the MAF, not the end of the world really. a non-oiled pipercross wont damage the MAF but will it trap all the tiny dust particles??

are there any standards for air filters with regard to particle size filtration?
