RS2 owners, how often do you clean your airfilter?

[bozothenutter]

Ss above.
I guess that due to it being an open filter it should be short interval, but how much?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Whenever I remember,(which is not that often).

 

[MicKPM]

Mine will be done when I do the oil and filter... twice a year.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Dedication.

 

[MicKPM]

Perk of the job I guess but an oil and filter change on an RS2 car isn't fun either. What was the simplest of jobs (oil filter) is now worse than on a Mk1 16v

 

[Tony Hunter]

Knuckles and forearms, ouch.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Slam panel off and it's a breeze to do.

 

[bmh.01]

Can't be any worse than a meg 225 one surely. Looks to be just as little access.

I reckon I'll be able to acces my filter ok/ish.

OT though, I've thought about replacing mine. I currently have a ramair filter. Don't suppose it would make any differnce going back to the standard pipercross filter would it?

 

[MicKPM]

I run a RamAir also and know it is strangling the car. Its being swapped for a pipercross shortly though as I'm at RSt next tuesday for a proper remap.

The standard item can flow for 210hp according to the PX tech lit... the RamAirs seem to suggest 150hp

 

[Joe#]

Right ok, thanks for that Mick. I'll have to get one ordered up.

 

[bozothenutter]

So with every oilfilter?
That is about 10K km's right?

 

[Chip-mk1]

We also do it with oil changes, which is a couple of K if we are doing a lot of trackdays and maybe 6-8K (miles I mean) if mainly road use.

 

[Joe#]

Anyone have a part number/link for the standard filter?
