hi

thinking of a panel filter for my 1.25 fiesta mk7 but what i wanna know is will it benifit from the £30 filter ?

ive heard some storys like it get more mpg (only 35-36 atm) and little more power .

is this true and is it worth it ?

I just bought this one of ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220884264970?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

So what does it do then ?

Bought one for mine a couple of months back and while I can't really say i've noticed

any more poke,the fuel economy seems to have crept up,even in this cold spell

so how much of a mpg gain should i get with the panel filter over my 35-37 mpg on normal one ?

So is it worth it ?

You'd get maybe 0.5bhp, worth it though in the long run I suppose though, they don't need replacing, they do allow a nicer flow into the engine and they're not that expensive.

The after market panel filters basically have a thinner weave that allows more air in and a light film of oil to trap the smaller bit of crap in the air, they are defiantly worth replacing as they last the life of the car so are a great investment, with regards to performance and power, yes you will see improved economy and power but it is a very small increase, my best recommendation would be a piper cross filter as it is made of a foam material which is considered to be the best

Hope this answer your questions, if you want to know a bit more just let me know

I saw a pipercross filter for £15 on here for the mk7 might get it ;-)

£15 is a absolute margin! for that kinda money its a no brainer

Ok will get it could sell it for the same at a later date
