K&N Panel Filter

[spoons]

Hi all,

Where is the best place for me to get a K&N Panel Filter for my Facelift Vectra 1.9 CDTI (195bhp VXRPC Remap)

I've been quoted between £52-£59

...and is this the correct part code K/N Panel Filter 33-2848

as seen in the 'How to Guide' Here

That part number is correct Steve, i've just checked the side of the box

Just checked the website and it gives you a load of local dealers m8. LINK

tut...tut, you should've done this before the remap steve. i doubt it'll make much difference, but the map has done taking into consideration the factory air flow rate.

unless you are just replacing the existing k&n you've got in there

There is a seller on E-bay, LINKY

How would they know anyway, he didnt even lift the bonnet !!, do I have to tell them that first ??? (blind leading the blind springs to mind)

Anyway, just wondered if we have any approved K&N traders so I can get a cheap price cos I always end up paying top whack, turn up to a club meet, then someone says "jeeze, you paid HOW MUCH"

watch out for potential MAF problems after fitting a K & N

coming from a world of VAG cars (seat, and golf were previous cars of mine) - there has been quite a few articles about potential contamination of the MAF sensor with oil mist from K & N filters (and other 'performance' filters)

alot of people seem to be leaning back towards using the standard OEM filters, as these dont give the same MAF problems - also the airflow benefits on K&N type filters are often so small that the benefits are greatly reduced

just my experience

My K&N has been in for over 12 months without any problems at all

Not if they do it through the OBD port under the ashtray...
