Stevie B 0 Posted December 31, 2003 Is it ok to put a k+n panel filter in my g60? I've heard some filters are not suitable for the g60, so i just wanted to check and see if anyone else has put a k+n in there's. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Tony 0 Posted December 31, 2003 I have one in mine. Dont think it made any difference IMO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 31, 2003 K&N are the ones to go for IMHO... They're a cotton based filter, so there are other similar ones available too. The ones to avoid af the foam ones and the metal mesh ones... These don't filter well enough for the close tollerances in the G60 unit and so some larger particles can get through causing wear in your charger. :shock: They don't make a large difference over the stock paper ones, but you've got the advantage that you know you won't have to mess with it for over 18months! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie B 0 Posted December 31, 2003 I'll go for a k+n then. Cheers for the replies. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted December 31, 2003 Henny- Just wondering what ht leads you have in yours as i'm gonna be replacing mine soon. I was thinking of putting in some magnecor ones. Standard VAG at the moment... I may upgrade at one of the shows in the summer, but they're reasonably new ones so I don't see the point at the moment... 8) I have heard good things about the magnacor ones though... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats more than the filter cost! Not fair is it! I like the look of the magnecor leads as well. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
