K&N Confusion

[imster]

i wish to fit a K&N panel filter to an ABY S2 - Can anyone please tell me the Part number as aftermarket stores are equally confused on the fitting aspect.
thanx in advance

Can't remember part no for aby but if you go by the k&n book you get a 3B one. I ended up buying one listed for ABU ie RS2. Fitted a treat.believe the airboxfor the RS2 is different but takes the same filter as the ABY!

Part number is 33-2029, it's the same as a mk.2 golf I think. Got mine from GSF for about £40. Had a few problems though as it coated an already dirty MAF sensor with the oil from the filter and made my car run like ****e. Cleaned the MAF and re-fitted the paper filter and it's ok. Just a warning incase it happens to your motor.

Part number 33 - 2768 also fits the ABY airbox
Seems like the K&N website has loads of mistakes on it as the specs for this filter, dimensions etc, are totally incorrect.
I cleaned the MAF before fitting and so far so good, but if car starts running like a Lada, then this will be first port of call

33-2768 is the correct fit. I have it since march this year. It is true that the MAF wire needs a solvent cleansing every 5-6 weeks because the factory seems to over oil the cotton surface of the panel. Once you do the first washing of the panel and re-oil it carefully, it will improve. Oiled filters are like that, unfortunately. But then, a little MAF rinsing doesn't hurt every now and then. I am for the K&N .

Carb cleaning stuff works great when you want to clean the MAF.
Or use the alcohol IPA that some guys were talkng about in this forum.

I also had a cone filter but my wife didn't like the whoesssssss of the DV.

I now have a K&N panel filter
About 75 euro I payed for it.
It doesn't make the car go faster.
I also modified the airbox.
This combination makes a little difference.

I drilled 2 holes of about 50 mm and put a shield in front of it.
I also made a cold air feed to these holes (no RAM AIR)
A spiral hose is going to the front of the car.
It uses the same bumper hole as the cold air feed of the oil cooler.

You could also try a Green Twister filter, they dont have oil in the filters So that should help some on the MAF

Ronald, the mods you've made to the air box is something they often do with the V6 audis, I think it makes sense if you look at the narrow neck of the airbox inlet. I am considering this too.

Here a couple of photo's of my airfilterbox modification .

The two white spots on the filterbox are the shields I used to cover the 50 mm holes. They normally are used for covering fresh air holes in closets (about 1 euro each).

I fitted a cold air feed hose output a couple of cm in front of these holes.
You cannot see that on the photo.

In front of the car, at the entrance of the oil cooler duct I put the air feed hose entrance. The blue thingy I borrowed from my wife.

The gold you see on the plastic is to give it a marmer look.
I got one of my artistic moments.
The spider belongs to my alarm system.
