K & N air filter for Audi B8

[Mvu]

Hi everyone

I have called master parts and they do not have stock. Anyone know where I can get it in Cape Town?

TIA

This is more specific engine difference based and then chassis based and will change depending on model.

So exactly which car?

You can try Motorcade (http://www.motorcade.co.za/) otherwise ATS will ship you to ex-Jo'burg http://www.ats-motorsport.co.za/.

So basically an A4?

Thanks..

I did try Google it but still wasen't sure

Yes, if you don't care about which year of A4, since they started in 1994.

carefull of the oil on the filter, that can mess with airflow sensor. once dry they do allow quite a lott of fine dust in.
humble opinion, not worth it.

Audi B8?

[Kloofvreter]

Yes, the B8

Same as an A4?

Yes the oil will dirty the MAF sensor. To be honest your oem filter can handle more power.

 

[Spliffcat]

Don't do it. Keep the original system.

Just wash and oil it regularly as per manufacturers recommendation?

PRoblem is that oil will go up the tube into engine. In itself not an issue, But that oil hits the airflow sensor, glogs it up. NOw you suck in 10Litre of air, but sensor either Default to error or reads 8 litres or less.
Car runs lean, burn piston. Or you Airflow sensor and the other sensor do not agree with how much air is coming in. so when you put foot down you have that hesitant jerky acceleration.

And all of that for zero gains. not worth it.
I had the K&N for my Audi B5 2.8 V6. No gains. after two months the intake was oily, with dust particles visible. Sensor was glogged and then I broke that fine wire trying to clean it, costing R5000 for new Sensor.
