    Air filter recommendations

    Hi guys,

    Can you recommend a replacement air filter?

    I want a direct replacement as apposed to an induction kit.

    Thanks in advance

    I'd use an OE one, they're the easiest to live with and do the job perfectly up to and beyond RS2+ power levels.

    1992 C4 2.8 Avant quattro
    1994 MTM RS2.
    1998 B5 TDI quattro Sport.
    2000 B5 TQS.

        KN always worked better for me so long as you don't overdo it with the oil used for its cleaning

          I have a K&N as well, so will do some back to back power tests when I'm back from Taiwan.

            Standard ones are cheap and effective

                I tried to find this link yesterday but failed. Today, I was looking for something else and found it (go figure)

                Read the info in the link and come to the right decision:



                I think the answer should be obvious after you have finished reading.
