Just checked my air filter and was amazed at how dirty it was, in fact i'm so concerned that I will be ordering a new one when in for new heater this friday. I've had my first service but air filter must not be part of replace items, and i've only done 16000 miles. Been told from a mechanic mate that a dirty filter can have a big impact on MPG so guys its worth a quick check. GS TD4 Stornoway Grey

Its come about on here a few time, they only change them every 30k

I was amazed how dirty mine was too, when i looked, they are only £8'ish so no great outlay

Thinking of going K&N on my next one though, but was wondering if they are really only worth it on the tuned/chipped cars  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Dirty air-filters = Probably due to the UK urban environment - I bet ours are as clean as a

Changed mine at 13k because it was clogged with dirt (whoosing sound alerted me to problem) then changed it again a couple of months ago when it was soaked during the floods-like NP says less than a tenner.

Your airfilter shouldn't get wet in floods, unless your going too deep or too fast for the bow wave  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I hit a flood/puddle at some speed and was up to my ankles in water, water forced its way up through the peddles-the car refused to start for 36 hours after that.
plus in the lakes where I live its always damp.
