I Had This Problem Too 1st Time Round...

[mbartlett]

Yes -- They dont do a diesel k*n filter! buggers!!! I have removed the whole filter system - under separate thread and added a mushroom filter, as there was not 'mushroom' under the bonnet ;o) lol lol

Yeah They Do Mark It's Part Number: 33-2936 - That's The 1 Diesels Need For Any Derv Owners Out There...

The 1 In My Picture Above Is 33-2847 - Avoid...

hi zack,

On their website it say this tho: petrol 1.6 turbo
Part 33-2936
Product Specifications
Product Style: Panel Air Filter
Height: 0.875 in (22 mm)
Outside Length: 14.25 in (362 mm)
Outside Width: 5.75 in (146 mm)

the length and width is the wrong size ie oblong- i ended up removing the whole system in the end tho... but this is good information if there is a diesel k&n fitler that fits?

Part 33-2847 Product Specifications
Product Style: Panel Air Filter
Height: 1.125 in (29 mm)
Outside Length: 12.5 in (318 mm)
Outside Width: 4.438 in (113 mm)
This is the other wrong part and size.

Ah F*ck It...

I Just Asked The Company I Bought The Wrong One Off An They Assured Me That 33-2936 Would Fit...

Lucky You Showed Me That Mark !

Theiving Bar-Stewards !...

[mbartlett]

sorry for that bad news ;-( there is nothing more annoying that being happy that it has arrived to be then let down by it not fitting!!

Try removing the initial induction assembly and you will be left with just a pipe. you can the fit a k&n filter cone on to this... this is the next easiest thing.

[mbartlett]

sorry... forgot to say and remove the paper filter afterwards ;o) you need to improve the air duct on the grill tho by removing/cutting the letterbox size... this improves the air flow considerably...

Yeah I Fitted A K&N Cone 1st But I Didnt Think It Made That Much Noise Difference Under The Bonnet While Revving So I Returned That And Thought Id Try The Panel Filter...

Oh Well Back To The Cone For Me...

lol
