air intake pipes s2 3b

[Erikb]

From the moment when I bought the car ,the air pipe which run from the headlight to the air filter wasn’t fitted. Now all the air is sucked threw the big hole, in the air filter, where normally the pipe is fitted. The air is sucked right next to the turbo, not good for the performance I guess. And maybe also the reason why the car makes a more heavy noise in higher revs,4500 to 6000 revs. I wanted to order those parts, I was wondering if someone has the parts number or maybe a picture of the parts which I need.

Thank you in advance ,

Anybody an idea?

[s2avant]

Do you mean number 18 in the picture?

If so, the part number is: 895 129 627

The price is a whopping £45.04+VAT over here!!!

Ben, reading Erik's post it may be the pipe that goes onto no.18.

There isnt one David. It fits into no.19 So the it picks up cold air from behind the headlamp, somehow?

[s2avant]

From what I can tell Nº 18 connects to Nº 19. The only 3B airbox I've looked at is Beeties though and that was at Billing so I was half baked

Sorry for the late response. But that is exactly what I mean, thank you S2avant . I dont have the parts number 18,19 etc. Do you think I can just order these parts?

[audiman]

Yeah you can order just those bits, but they are very expensive!!

[Erikb]

Do you know a better solution, buying a open air filter maybe. Only this will maybe cause problems with the oil which will stick to the maf sensor.

I just took the 3b box off mine, I'll try and find the parts for you.

[martinjs]

get an ITG one, the oil they use isnt as thick as the stuff K+N use, so shouldnt be such a problem.

[newsh]

Actually I need the no 19 style part but for an ABY airbox.. Not sure what it looks like though.

[audiman]

I have been running a K and N for ages now. Also with the breather problem its dumping oil onto the MAF wire, causing absolutely no probs what so ever. I dont think that oil filter will cause any running problems. I never clean my MAF and it works perfectly.

Hi Erik,

I am now running an open air K&N but am thinking of going back to my original Airbox (with some mods) and open air K&N.
If you are interested you could buy my open air configuration (complete with 180 deg turn)

Let me know by PM.
