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
