Will a K&N air filter benefit a stage 1 remap?

[humsk]

Hi,

I'm intending to get a remap once Skoda decide what's happening over the diesel emissions scandal (received the letter to say a software update is required but when?)  In the mean time, my Yeti's air filter is due a change so wondering if it's worth going for a K&N filter and what effect that may have on a remap, if any?  It's a 2012 170CR Yeti. 

 

Most likely go for a Shark remap next time there's a GB or they have a sale .... fingers crossed 

 

Comments welcomed .....  one obvious advantage of the K&N filter is being able to clean and reuse it - and advantage with the number of miles I do and regularly using the car on dusty gravel roads.

 

Cheers,

Andrew

I would stick with a paper filter and just change it regularly. I'm not convinced a K&N offers the same level of filtration.

No point on its own

Try the revo carbon air intake kit. It's what I would do with mine, provided the warranty wasn't affected.
