Well, when I go for a drive it's country lanes but very steep hills and maybe the occasional 'detour' on a few tracks. Then there's the pooling around town or the 900m drive to the local coop and back. Because its cold. And I'm lazy. And I won't take the diesel Audi on such short journeys.
K&N filters are rock catchers not filters, they flow very well at the expense of filtering as you'd imagine you can't really have one without the other.
Finger crossed then buddy for you. Has he given you a reg number yet so you can insure it?? if so you can just log onto the dvla and run that plate through and it will tell you if its taxed, M.O,T and insured and also when the M.O.T was done too. Great tool nowadays. Dealers hate it. LOL
Keep the faith buddy and just borrow your mates trade plates and take them with you if he will lend them you just in case. Best option is also to ring the selling dealer to get a full update on things so far buddy to be sure you are happy 100%Well...... call me **** but paid in full. I might be needing the name of your guy!
Yes they are pre-oiled out the box to straight fit. I have one of those K&N service kits which i use on mine every other year albeit i still take it out come service time and check/clean the box for dust/bugs etc and gently hoover over the pleates of the filter then pop it back in turning it 180 degrees
Thats good then if she creaps up on the motorway and i would say your 15 mpg is about right then for local too and fro drives.
Ive always said each to their own buddy on anything in life.K&N filters are rock catchers not filters, they flow very well at the expense of filtering as you'd imagine you can't really have one without the other.
Look inside your intake hoses mine had a nice coat of dust which magically disappeared after fitting a proper Bosch paper filter..
The Oil on K&N almost always finds it way on to the MAF too which causes no end of issues.
I didn't notice any drop in performance or MPG without it..
15mpg is about right if it is crawling around town or doing short journeys with steep hills etc
Mine will usually do 18 around town and the best was 26mpg on the M4 at 2600rpm which is around 70mph
done with a brim to brim, no trip comp nonsense, however mine is accurate to a few tenths so it can usually be trusted..
Oh I'm well aware - 15mpg is good for what she's doing these days
I'm surprised the heat from the lights didn't melt all the ice
If it means anything specific to you then i would say that's ok as long as it also includes the assignment fee and VAT
Don't get me wrong - I'm the kind of ****er that has a few private plates but £500 for that one which is pretty nondescript seems rich.Ditto.
I pay that for a RR
I gave one away on my RR lolDitto.
I'd pay that for a RR
