K & N filters
Frankie-Boy:
I've heard a few things about K & N filters but are they any good and do they make any improvements to performance?
Anyone have experience of them please?
I was thinking of replacing my Disco air filter with one, I'm using a Mantec snorkle connected to the original 300Tdi airbox.
V8MoneyPit:
As filters, they are superb. And they flow far better than a conventional filter. Allowing more air into the combustion chamber increases volumetric efficiency and creates a bigger bang!
The stories I've heard are when used on a diesel, the oil in the filter gets sucked into the engine and acts as a fuel. I have yet to come across anyone who has actually had this happen to them personally. I've only ever heard it as 'hearsay'. In any case, if there were grounds for sueing the manufacturer, do you think a US company would still be selling the product? :lol:
Disco Matt:
Got one in mine with the same setup, not convinced it makes any difference to performance but the fact that it can be cleaned out appealed (reducing waste). Talking of which, I really need to get hold of the cleaning/oiling stuff and service it...
steve lewis:
i put one in my TD5 bowt 4 years ago, yes, they do make difference i reckon, ive done other stuff like a egr removal & fitted hyclones but in my opinion, there worth the money, paid for itself in 4 years, i just wash mine out with fresh diesel & jobs a gud un :dance:
bobtailed disco:
