K&N Filter

(1/2) > >>

turtle:
Just fitted a K&N into the TD5, and I can now hear sucking noise inside the cab, is this normal after fitting a K&N?

Cheers

Budgie:
Yes................ish.  
Which K&N did you fit, the replacement for the standard filter or 57i kit?

The 57i kit will make the sucking noise but I didn't hear anything when I replaced the standard filter with a K&N, although I do have a Safari Snorkle fitted as well.  :-k

Are you sure it's not SWIMBO??  :(biglaugh):

Standard Replacement (I think) . I have re-checked that I fitted it correctly i.e put the filter box back together properly, it only noticable at slower speeds, I guess I'll have to stick the stereo up another notch :)

Carful she can hear you :)

Budgie:
It's not an 57i then as they replace the whole filter box with a cone filter, like the ones you can fit to the carb'ed V8s.

I guess it's just one of those things.  :wink:

Pretty normal, my 300Tdi Defender does the same with an ITG replacement filter...  

What you need is to have your Td5 chipped  :wink: ... won't stop the noise... but you'll be going faster.
