How to clean your PiperX IK

[Mikey16vClio]

How do u clean the foam cone PiperX IKs? Thanx.

???

 

[BenR]

a little bit of normal detergent in lots of water, clean with your hands but dont break the foam, can use a brush if you want.

Then get some filter oil (as this is teh filter medium NOT the foam) and spray it on, rub it in......done

 

[Robby]

You can buy some filter cleaner from places like Halfords

 

[Paul16V]

I use star drops. that works great. Just like BenR said, give it a good clean and re oil. Jobs a guden.

i have some official piperx dirt retention spray if anyone wants it

i have a s-spec and do not require it any more

 

[Mikey16vClio]

So i cant use some filter oil as it is a foam air filter Ben?

So jus clean it with some fairy liquid, then what? Thanx.

no, you clean it and you HAVE to use some retention oil, on foam AND gauze type filter. THe foam and gauze hold the oil, and the oil catches the dirt, simple.

 

[Mikey16vClio]

Where can i get this special retention oil? Does K&N = gauze?

Cheers.

 

[BenR]

yup. K&N = gauze.

K&N uses it own oil which is kinda specific.

But with the foam filters you can use most really...either ITG< piper X, etc etc.

 

[Mikey16vClio]

Ill check Halfords out for the kit tomorrow then. Thanx.

 

[Mikey16vClio]

HELP ME!

I need to know where i can buy this special oil & instrutions for cleaning asap. Thanx.

 

[Paul16V]

they sell it in halfords!! If not go to the pipercross website.

 

[Mikey16vClio]

Done both mate, dont sell it at Halfords or on PiperX website.

Will the RAM AIR filter oil work with the PiperX? Cheers.

 

[RicH-]

im sure all the oils do the same job so i would of thought it would work with your filter mate...

 

[BenR]

i use spray on ITG retention oil, its good because it has a dye in it which lets you know when to stop straying...lol...for the lazy.

All oils are near the same.

 

[Mikey16vClio]

Yeah, i used the RAM air cleaner and oil treatment (very sticky stuff), and all seems well, car feels quicker than b4 it was cleaned definnetly. Thanx for the help, Mikey.

the demon tweeks website has the retention oil.
