    KN Panel Filter

    Has anyone got a part number for the KN for an 2011 Octavia vRS 2.0 and actually fitted it?

    Cheers,

    It's the same as on Golf5 petrol or diesel, the same filters.
    Don't do it! The OEM flows well and filtrates too, unlike the one that you've mentioned.

    Oh, well there you go. I might not worry about it. Looks like I've got a Golf 6 GTI one here if anyone wants to buy one :p?

    as transporter said, dont bother with an aftermarket panel filter.

    it might be "high flow" but it'll also make no difference on the dyno, and it'll sand your engine in the process as well.

    You don't get much, if any, gain from a K&N - as Transporter said, the VW one flows pretty well. Plus, you need to be very careful about oiled filters - if you get too much oil on them and then get droplets of oil on the MAF, bad things can happen. Those German engineers at VW generally know what they're doing...

    Yep wouldn't bother, I put one in a previous car and it was more pain to clean and re-oil than it was worth.
