Hi spfrecerny,

My JSW TDI is my first import as well. I couldn't be happier with it, it's a dream boat! I'm sure you will love yours too.

You have to host the pics on a separate server site like www.photobucket.com, then once you've uploaded them you can link to them or post them directly in your thread by wrapping the URL between IMG tags so it looks like

Because the oil from the filter can damage your MAF, just get the $10 air filter from MJM Autohaus or some other Vdub place you won't regret it.

I've run the k&n filters in all my car since 94 I've never had a problem with them have oil build up on any of my mas air sensor but thanks for the addvise if I have that prob I'll keep u in mind. But the only time I've heard any one having that problem is if the over oiled there filter before put it in. As of right now my filter has 5600 miles on it with noprobs and the car has just over 5700 if was going to cause an issue I think it would of happened by now.

We know a good mechanic that replaces MAFs all the time
and in most cases, the person was using a K & N filter.
He has a entire shelf covered with K & N filters that
he has replaced with the stock type dry air filter.

He knows his busness, and he says that the K & Ns are causing the MAFs to fail.

Why run a K & N in the first place? Do you believe their false ads and statements? :confused:
Do you think that your stock air cleaner is not supplying enough air. :confused:
Can you feel more power? :confused: Are you getting better fuel economy? :confused:

If you are honest with yourself, your answers to all of these questions must be a big nyet!

I ran a dyno test on an '95 SS. Once with a stock AC filter that
had 18k miles. It was far from new, and not really clean either.
I was entitled to two pulls. I removed the old stock AC filter and we ran it again.
Quess what. There was no difference at all. Now just how much better can
a K & N be as far as air restriction is concerned than no filter at all? :confused:
I rest my case.

It's your money after all, and IF you want to throw it away
and have to replace those expensive MAFs, be my guest. :eek:

HTHs

:D

I'm pretty sure the interval for your air filter is every 40k miles (and others have proven you can go much longer if the conditions are right); if you work that out to a per mile basis you're not looking at that much money. If you also read though some of the threads about the topic you'll notice that the K&N does a much worse job filtering the air than your OEM paper filter did. That will have an effect on your engine in the long run and not in the first 5700 miles. It of course is your car and you're welcome to do whatever you want with it. ;)

He wasn't referring to you-he was talking about the other poster w/ Green name.... I don't know one way or the other,but if you took it to the local VW dealer for warranty work,wouldn't they give a hard time if they saw a K&N filter? If you really want to run one,I would wait till you are out of warranty period,then do it...unless you don't care about their warranty(hey,we're talking VW,right:rolleyes: )....

geengeeker this is the one that i was ranting about your info and links were a great help thank you if this guy did this in stead being a jerk i would have not gotten pissed that he didnt mind his own business. but because of you and a couple of other i did remove it and put the stock one in untill i find something else thats non oil type filter. im lucky if a filter last me 20k cause of one my hobbies makes me drive down a dirt road 2 days a week so if you have any suggestions of an upgraded filter let me know thanks

What you do to your car is indeed your business and certainly none of mine.

I could care less what you think of me, or for that matter, the topic.

Weren't you the person who pointed out that you'd gone through three MAFs and were
asking what could be the problem, and why this problem was happening to you?

I thought I'd lay on you what I know for a fact and what others
in the know also know is true. If you take the advise, good.
If you don't, that's your choice. Be our guest.

We are collectively glad thay you did remove the K & N which was supposedly given to you.
If this is indeed true, it is a shame that the person who gave
it to you did not know the truth regarding their products.

The next time some Newbie comes here and asks for help regarding something like what you are experincing with your failing MAFs, although many of us know what is could be causing the
problem, I for one will simply keep shut and allow the person to waste all kinds of money
replacing how many MAFs just to save a few pennies on a reusable K & N that is
not worth anything because it does not do the intended job correctly.

Sorry I bothered you. You are indeed welcome for the information that we provided.

Carry on and have a nice day.

I for one like this post:

http://pics.tdiclub.com/data/500/KandN_filter_evaluation.pdf

Those of us who are 'in-the-know' realize that we do not know it all, and
try to depend on specialists that do know to help us do the right thing. :cool:

Because of my personal experences with my hotrod SS, and people like
Drivbiwire, I believe that K & N filters are not the way to go.

:D

You're Right . .

:)

DERREL will indeed be more careful from now on. :p

I'm glad that it wasn't you and that you have had no problems.

You do know now that there may be problems later on when
using a K & N, so its good that you are aware of this fact.

BTW, I don't yell at people. I try only to talk to 'em.

Carry on and enjoy you new Sportwagen.
