K&N air filter

Scotch_Steve · Nov 14, 2021

Hi guys, I ordered k&n filter to replace paper one, doesn’t matter wheretry and order it from, says wrong part and suggests a panel one.

I ordered this and opened up air box to replace, and find I have massive cone in there, thankfully I was able to return the panel one.
Still when I try and order the cone one it says it’s the wrong one for my car.

Anyone replaced their cone one, is there a part number for these?
Thank you kindly in advance

The cone ones like you have is the later type and is the same as the ST k& n model of the same year petrol or diesel.

OE paper are best and filter the best and filter even better when used .

Not surprising when you see the surface area available , here's an OE unraveled VW 1.9 TDI panel filter
