Hey guys. I got a 2001 2.4t and im like 1000 away from the 15000 mile mark. I was wondering when im suppose to change my filter. Im gonna change it at 15k becuase i wanna put a K&N air filter in it and add a couple more horse. Does anyone have one of those?? i heard ur car sounds lowder when its in. I wonder if it makes the turbo sound a bit louder. I hope it does, i love the sound of the turbo. anyways please reply and tell me wht ur experinces are.

Engine Air Filter
Replace the engine air filter cartridge with a new one every 37,500 miles under normal driving conditions.

Not sure why things have changed a little, but if you want to change to K&N now, that should not be a problem at all, especially since it is something that is not really cost prohibitive (#33-2176 @ $62) IMHO. I have heard from import owners that it gives a little sportier intake noise.

Drew,

33-2176 is available at Martel Brothers for $40.25 last I'd checked.

Dave,

Good point, I think $62 is the actual K&N retail price, but most online places are selling it for around $42.

I purchased mine from Martel. It does make a slight difference, however be VERY sure you remove the mass air flow sensor first before you install. And put some grease at the rear of the housing. FYI

Marc -

Some past threads talked about problems with the K&N Filter...what's the truth? My main concern is how something could actually let more air in but not more dust in....not too good with physics but it concerns me....
