I'm giving my car a little service before fast show and upon looking through air filters I came across this:
cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-DNX...3ef972e956
I tried googling the brand but nothing really came up on it, I'm just curious as to whether any one has heard of it and if it is a steer clear jobby
thanks
PS I know that the listing in particular is for the 2.0 hdi, the filter for that engine has the same dimensions as all the TU engines afaik

I was just looking at paper filters in fairness but this came up, for a tenner it seems tempting if it does the same job as a k&n but I'm just wondering if anyone has heard bad reviews about it

there's probably a reason that it is fairly cheap and unheard of, if I were you I would go for K&N, widely renowned for being a very good filter

That will be fine, all panel filters are the same. Don't filter the air as well, slightly increase responsiveness and are cheaper to maintain.

Cheers Lee, I can always just clean it more often than you would with other filters
