Been offered a K&N panel filter for a 3B, would it fit straight into my ABY. Generally speaking over all would this help the car? As i know someone who had a cone K&N filter installed in a quattro, and it wasnt doing much good for the car.

Be careful with any longlife filter such as K&N. WIthin diesel circles they are well known for foulling up air flow meters with a a coating of oil leading to warning lights, loss of power and general pita stuff. I've had cars with and without them and can't say I felt much benefit from them being there, just a slight increase in intake noise. I have one fitted on my S6 but only cause it was there when I got the car. Chances are it's coming off and going on fleabay, they make good money second hand for some reason. I'll be interested to see if I can tell the difference when I fit a standard filter.Comment

Just clean the MAF periodically either with IPA or with carb cleaner! Nothing wrong with the paper filter though, the RS2 has the same paper element in the RS2 box so it can't be that bad.Cheers'en, AndyC

That's my point... If you check applications against the K&N list you see that quite often a standard filter is used in much higher applications. If it's capable of much higher power then there is no real need to change..Comment
