I understand that you need to be careful not to over oil them. This can result in oil getting all over the MAF sensor (if fitted) which can then cause problems.
so just be careful when cleaning it and don't put too much oil on it is the answer1997 A4 avant 110 TDI Quattro

I had one on my old E30 years ago and can't say I noticed any performance increase.1997 A4 avant 110 TDI Quattro

I ran a K&N panel (same size as the Golf VR6s) in my 1993 UrS4 until I read those. Then I went back to OE paper.RS2'd 93 UrS4 5 spd sedan

I fitted a standard airbox with a K&N panel filter and noticed a difference on how it drove.1997 A4 avant 110 TDI Quattro

I've been running a BMC filter in the RS2 airbox for the last 5 or 6 years, no problems.

I run a K&N filter in my RS2 airbox, i did run paper for quite a while until the power figures increased and a K&N was fitted, then moved to a pipercross foam filter, which promptly tore itself to piece under the suction, so now back with K&N.S2Forum.com Administrator

I put K&N panel filter some time ago
Maybe no more power, but I liked whistling sound that was during accelaration
