shiwarrior Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 MY Focus Mk 2.5 1.8 is due a service, is it worth sticking with a normal filter or should I replace it with something better ? (like the green cotton one) if so which one and where to buy from ? Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeer Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have had a K&N filter now for about 4 years I think and when ever I have a service the reduce the price as they're not changing the filter so it's actually paid for its self now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FocusSmudge Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Have you got the specific 2.0TDCi air filter Jason? Wanted one for the 1.8TDCi but noticed it's about £20 more than the 1.6 petrol filter. The dimensions are a bit different between the two (few cm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FocusSmudge Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It'll be a flat filter but you can install a cone if you wanted :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dimensions are a bit different between the two (few cm) Mines a cylindrical filter which I believe is the same as the 1.6TDCI Go on to the K&N website I'm sure they have a match n find service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I fitted a green cotton filter to a 1.8 tdci. Engine felt more responsive and quicker off the mark. Mine was 55 pounds and i clean it every 3 months to keep it free from leafs and debris. It will pay for itself in the long run as its 1 item on your service you don't need to replace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
