Yay! The Nice man at SEAT let me order my Cupra Intake on Monday and just phoned me now to say it's ready for me to collect! And my Green filter should arrive from JBS today or tomorrow! SO happpy!

So, some advice... Do you think I should talk to my Skoda dealer and ask how putting these two in will affect my warrantee, or just do it and change them back for the 20k service thats coming up in a couple months?

I know it's been debated a bit before, but I just wondered what everyone else has done/would do.

I doubt they would even notice or even care... Espcially when there only servicing it.

If you have to make a warrenty claim and was worried that they would take a hard stance then just return them back to standard, and they would never know.

But as I said above I really doubt they would notice (espically the intake pipe) or be bothered.

If servicing, just watch out at the 20k they don't whip out and thrown away your cotton filter and replace it with an OEM one... be VERY specific they're NOT to touch your air filter at any service. Its down to you to keep your eye on how mucky it gets, and clean it yourself.

The intake won't affect anything - Its a genuine VAG part so I see no reason for them to query that - and after all, its not an element of servicing so doubt they'd give two hoots about it.

Cheers guys, I'll probably just tell them to leave the filter in at the service and not mention the intake.

It'll be good until the rest of the mods Briskoda has made me want to buy go in. Damn expensive website!

I just changed them myself. I will probably void warranty anyway.

Mine knows about it, I am not gonna hide stuff from the dealer, just can be bothered.

If the dealer says most warranty is void (which may happen if I continue down the slippery path of modifications), then iit really doesn't matter any longer

Had my serviced with them both on aswell as a sturt brace nothing was said, though it may have something do with the person who serviced it? :P Just kidding

I just wanted to get past the 20k service before waving goodbye to the warantee. Then if anything is wrong with it I can sort that out first.

Hopefully they can't blame too much that could go wrong on a new air intake/filter though.

Maybe I'll mention it at the service and start the serious modding after that?

Well, my car was out of warranty when I bought it, so never had that issue. Also means I can source cheaper OEM parts & oil for servicing, and cheaper labour too.

Hello again, just got home and my filter is on the floor. But it has a sticker on the side saying:

FILTRE PLAT SKODA FABIA 1.4L 60HP - GR07

Am I right in guessing that it's not the right one for the vRS?

Edit: Ignore me, panicked before searching. It's got the part number 950337 which is right. sorry.

he he.

And the air filter gets changed at 40k not 20k.

Mort, I think that's right - it catches everyone out!

Air filter is defo at 40k - this as I was paranoid about the dealer swapping my green one out for a standard one so I asked
