Well i've been considering fitting a cone air filter / induction kit like a K&N or something, but have heard a few times that these do more harm than good, sucking in warm air from the engine. I Can't afford anything fancy like a BMC, and ive heard these wont make much difference anyway unless you have a big engine with a turbo and stuff.

What about K&N replacement panel filters? Do these make any difference in anyway, or just last longer?

Im a total noob when it comes to engines so advice would be most welcomed.

ive just fitted a pipercross replacement filter and its noice.

Revs much smoother and a bit quicker by alot of peoples opinions. Im not so sure. But im very skeptical of anything i put on my car so im biased in the wrong direction!

Either way get one of those from german and swedish dont think youll be dissapointed. Saying that you drive a diesel dont you? Not sure what to expect by putting a filter on a diesel. But for 30 quid who cares lol. Not like its mega bucks.

Clue is in the name mate :D

It filters the air going in to the engine and takes out all the crap basically.
