Do they really make any difference? Some people say they do and others don't? :s

My car is definetly more responsive, but that could just be because its got a fresh clean filter in there.

Not done enough miles to notice any mpg difference though.

The way I looked at it, is that being washable it pays for itself in the life of two standard filters and any benefit I get however small is a bonus.

I've taken the plunge....c if I can tell any difference once its arrived and fitted

I have found a pipercross panel filter for my 1.6 tdci for 35 quid, a standard is 12 quid, now pipercross say it will increase my mpg ( but won't say by how much) n apparently will add between 2-5 bhp? Now is it really with paying 3 times the amount

The mpg boost will probably only be a very slight one

I think Alex is on commission everyone's buying them now

I wish, haha.

I think it just helped knowing that the K&N warranty is valid in the UK.

Fitted mine today, haven't driven yet though. Filmed it all and will put up a guide

At last I've done something before Nath. Fitted mine on Thursday done about 50miles the engine sounds so much smoother but there is no real difference in mpg or performance so far as I can tell. Also you get a nice exhaust note when you rev it up other than that not much difference

[V1M4L]

Id agree with what sambooka said....not noticed any diff to mpg...yet.

Here's the guide if anyone was unsure how easy it is to change the air filter: http://www.fordowner...er/#entry207970

Needs the silicone hose as well, note the inlet pipe on the standard kit is baffled. Get yourself a smooth sili pipe
