Well, It makes a difference (In my Opinion) on the 1.9tdi -

When I put it on, it made a nicer intake sound, if thats possible on a diesel, and seemed to free it up a little - just my opinion though - not based on tests or anything...

Apparently the gain is likely to be only 1 or 2 horsepower if any! but a lot better if you free up the exhaust as well....

However, looking at it economically it cost me £30 and lasted 4 years which is good money well spent.

So does anyone know will the Mk1 1.9tdi panel filter fit in the Mk2 PD VRS?

no idea, id just go and get another one :)

You could check out the filter parts numbers against the VAG engines in question on the K&N website.

Here is a pic of the airfilter of my PD VRS intake. Does this help ?

Well, did it make a difference? Did it fit?

I just realised I have a K and N panel from my old 1.9tdi somewhere!
