Hi team, fitted my panel filter by lifting up the air box but I can’t get my head round something.
Surely it fits in the grooves as per the old oem filter?
mine sits on top and moves slightly when I close the box?
Fitted many panel filters on many motors but wanted clarity on this one?
Manufacturers are competing with fuel economy, I doubt that they would design a sub-optimal air box / filter as there is no cost benefit.
The surface area of the filter element is also calculated to deal with dirty environments that are not typical in the UK.
I suspect a vacuum gauge downstream on the air box would show minimal difference between VW OEM and ‘performance’ filters.
