Yo peoples.... Short K&N diy :


Unwrap and let your eyes feast


Get a grip...


... and loosen bolts..


...Off with the wheels...

...there's the filter box... loosen three bolts on the box/cylinder ...from the bottom ... to take off the bottom "lid"...


...pull out and compare old filter with new...

In with the "dandy" filter and reverse disassembly process .... and step on it!

Short K&N replacement filter Experience report:

Sound:

Since its a replacement filter in the original box it doesnt change the in car sound experience too much... when rev'ed high the sound is a slight bit more aggresive... outside a bit more noticable.

With the sport button on... the sound is more aggresive and noticable still.

Id say between 5-20% + on sound

Performance:

Rev's a bit easier and overall feels a bit nippier.

Id say between 5-10% + on performance/feel (not bhp ! )

No the air filter is down on the other side of the engine on the multijet. You can get access from underneath the car by removing the tray

Loving this guide - just one thing.. how is the filter kept in place?

Thanx. . Well... it kind of sticks by itself... the hole in the filter top fits neatly over the hose to the turbo inside the filter box... hope it makes sense

Cheers

Nice one dude... Need to get one! Argh! Lol

Excellent Mark
