[dannyboy172]

Has that happened under normal use? looks like its been crushed or something? Surpose if the mesh is aluminium then it does have a tendancy to get brittle?? :S

[GarethM]

thats bad news ali, hope its not damaged the engine..

 

[daviebroon]

how can the metal shards have gone in to the engine... the foam layers are BEHIND the mesh??

 

[Taiko]

I think that photograph is from the inside of the filter. Good luck with giving some beatdown to RAMair and hope your engine is OK.

 

[pecan]

how can the metal shards have gone in to the engine... the foam layers are BEHIND the mesh??

That's what I can't understand, I thought it was the front of the filter... hell knows.

edit: Just took another look at it, I can see it's inside of the filter now. Damn that sucks.

 

[OLI]

[Andi-B]

Glad I bought a K&N ... might be Kack but theres no meshing on them


Andi

 

[Velocity182]

thats shocking they should clean your engine out for free

 

[howie p]

what they said, whats happening?

 

[Tigger]

That don't look good Ali..

Kick up fuss until everything is put right!

 

[fmp_]

could of been like that when you fitted it.

and surely you would of noticed the car running rough etc if it had done any damage.

i would of thought a chunk of metal that big would struggle getting past the valves.

but worth an investigation none the less!
