Hi all,
Finally got round to cleaning my 200tdi K&N filter last night.
The proper cleaner worked wonders getting the oil and rubbish off/out BUT it did not seem to cean to remove the oil impregnated mud that has lodged itself between the filter material and the steel gauze.
A stiff paintbrush removed some more mud but I still couldnt get it all out.
K&N Destructions say you never direct water from the outside inwards as this only makes things worse...
So how can I get it out, or should I leave the last 10% - 15% of it in. There is only 1 real dirty bit and thats about the size of the air intake pipe that goes into the canister.
On a slightly different topic, do others get mud into air filter? I cant actually remember driving in mud that deep that it could be sucked in.
I guess a snorkel may be a good idea, if only to feed fresh air! Oh no, the Mantec / Safari debate again!!!
Thanks Jon
