| 2 Green Panel Filter questions in one topic.. Firstly, has anyone noticed the difference in sizes, for the vRS we are told to order the panel filter from the 1.4, how do we know it's not the 1.9 TDi 100 bhp? as far as I can tell from http://performancecentre.carpartsdat...ages/main1.htm it seems like the TDi airbox must be bigger as the green panel filter has different dimensions to the petrol equivelant. Copied from the web site: Part No. P504342 Car 1.4 16v 100hp '00-on Type Panel Length/Height 285 Width 190 I.D. n/a Price £36.95 - 10% Discount = £33.26 Part No. P504342 Car 1.4 16v 75hp '00-on Type Panel Length/Height 285 Width 190 I.D. n/a Price £36.95 - 10% Discount = £33.26 Part No. P950337 Car 1.4 60hp '00-on Type Panel Length/Height 215 Width 213/131 I.D. 234 Price £35.41 - 10% Discount = £31.87 Part No. P950337 Car 1.4 68hp '00-on Type Panel Length/Height 215 Width 213/131 I.D. 234 Price £35.41 - 10% Discount = £31.87 Part No. P950337 Car 1.9 SDi 64hp '00-on Type Panel Length/Height 215 Width 213/131 I.D. 234 Price £35.41 - 10% Discount = £31.87 Part No. P950337 Car 1.9 TDi 100hp '00-on Type Panel Length/Height 215 Width 213/131 I.D. 234 Price £35.41 - 10% Discount = £31.87 It seems to me that 213/131 would be the correct fitment, not 190? My second question is more obvious, how often does the green filter need to be cleaned and re-oiled, I heard it was every 7,000 miles? Does anyone have a link to where I can buy the panel filter cleaning kit? Thanks  Chris.

| All I know is the vRS uses the same filter as the 1.9 TDI.

| The 1.4-16v engines use a different air filter. The one the vRS uses is the same as the 1.4-8v and 1.9TDI 100bhp engine.... Chris

| I reckon I may have bought the wrong one then as my panel filter doesn't fit flush, although I did quote the reference when calling demon tweeks a few months ago? What about the cleaning kit?

| Halfords have the kits too, normally in the Ripspeed section. |
