  • Panel filter?

    Im think of getting a Pipercross panel filter. Iv found one thats for 1.6 petrol 120bhp. Not done any upgrades to the car, and was wondering is it easy to fit and do i have to upgrade anything else if i get it fitted? Thanks for the help.

        10 minute jobs. You can't really do anything wrong unless you try opening your panel with some wire cutters and a hammer.

          Needed a small shank TORX driver for mine
          And that bleeding clip is hard to get off- and harder to get back on
          Needs to go back on as it seals the filter casing

                For you Chris anytime! Actually just didn't want Scarey to think it was hard to change that filter.

                      If you uprate the panel filter then I would suggest making sure you mention this to your Service agent otherwise they will remove it and replace it with an original come service time.

                            wow, I must really have my head turned around and am completely talking out my ass. Sorry!

                            This should be your engine.

                              that kinda looks like it. it needs more muck on it. is it just the number 8 i need to deal with?
