always cheack before buying an ITG filter!

[twitch]

i ordered my ITG panel filter the other day from K-Tec and it came through the post today (the postman can't read as seen in the pic bellow!)

so went to fit it and guess what was in there.............

thats right an ITG pannel filter! lol

i fitted the new one anyway cos ive only had the car for about a month so dont know how long the old ones been in there, so i have a spare if anyones interested?

lol, thats pretty funny! (but not meant in a harsh way!)

I am thinking of buying one, do they perform worse as they age, and can they be cleaned up to as new condition?
If so I may be interested

 

[twitch]

well i was hopping to see if it was better then the standard paper one from Renault but as ive had one in it all along i guess i will never know lol as for cleaning it im not to sure wat to use to do it?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Theres a guide in the guide section on cleaning an itg filter.

How much would you want for it (and postage)? Bearing in mind it is a couple of years old, or at least thats what im assuming!

make me an offer mate

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

What condition is it in? And do you know when it was fitted?

 

[twitch]

its the 2nd pic, its in really good condition once its clean it would be like new! ill cheack the history to see if theres any receipts to find out when it was fitted

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

How does £30 posted sound? Im guessing you've just spent £50 on the new one, so you'd be getting 60% of your money back

sounds good to me, PM your details

Gutted mate, pretty ironic hey.

 

[Jonny_Paul]

Did you swear? lol I would have.

Thats was funny, was expecting a disaster or something lol

Best thing is they make F.A difference, aside from not having to change them - but they still need degreasing and oiling.

^^ I found mine made the car a bit noisier!

 

[vdust182]

I thought the throttle response was tinsy bit better, or is it just me?

Depending on who you ask they'll tell you:

-It made my engine rev more freely.
-It increased my power by 5bhp.
-It increased induction roar.

Having had two of them on my 172/182 and a Green Stuff one, I concluded they made bugger all difference and as above the only benefit being they don't need changing every service like the OE part.
