K&N Air Filter

[QuA]

Is this worth the money? I think the cheapest I found the air filter for the 1.8T is $70. I've heard about ITG air filters but still havent found anyone in Calgary that sells them.

Due to the fact I had TWO MAF changed under warranty on the Jetta. The VW MAF unit is so fragile. I can tell you not to go with K&N but foam filter. Currently my B5 and A4 both breathe with K&N panel. They seems OK now.

My Amsoil FOAM filter has contaminated my MAF last summer ..
After spending $350 on a new MAF I went back to stock paper.
Be carefull.!!

Whatever you do...

Don't overoil your K&N, I've gummed up a Ford MAF with an overoiled K&N. No big deal, remove MAF, spray with carb cleaner, replace. Clean filter, don't overoil and all is good and back to normal. Car developed a lot of hesitation when the MAF was sending the wrong signals.

I think they're ok given this guidance, I don't suppose dealers like them on warranty vehicles much though...
