My MK7 Golf TDI is due for a new air filter. This will be my first time changing it on the car.
My old 2001 Golf TDI I was researching on here after I had planned on getting a K&N air filter for it and was told not to get the K&N for the TDI, and stick with the paper factory style one. I don't remember exactly why, just that the car ran better with the paper style vs the performance filter of the K&N.
I thought I would post the question again for my 2015 MK7 Golf TDI to see if it also does better with the factory style air filter or if I could use the K&N. If it runs just as good or better I would prefer the K&N simply because I can clean and re use the filter and don't have to keep buyin new ones. But above all else, I want to run what is best for the car.
