Green cotton air filter

[mgcvk]

Anyone use green panel filter. Want to change it on 1.2 tsi before a remap. I already have the cleaning kit for the green as opposed to other brands such as K&N or piper cross.

Do you mean does anyone use them, as in a review or could anyone do with one, as in I have one here if you are interested?

[mgcvk]

Yep I mean is there any reason not use one on the fabia, is a different manufacturer more suitable?  People don’t seem to mention green filters whereas commonplace with Subarus.

See the thread / posts on this page on the Air Intake off a vRS.  

Use a good clean filter for about £16 a time.

Performance filters are OK, when clean, or when you need ones to keep out H2o.

Dirty ones or badly re-treated are a right PITTA sometimes.

You could always treat your car to one of these:

 

VW Racing Panel Filter

 

Or even one of these:

 

VW Racing Cold Air Intake

Intake would be more than my requirements! In terms of compatibility and as I haven’t seen one,  is the VRS airbox same or different to 1.2 tsi?

I've changed the intake on my tsi, needs a bit of modding to work but its not that hard

Are really sure you want a green panel filter?

I have also seen pipercross ones break up too. Never seen any problems with K&N, got one in my Mk1 and am happy with it.
