Im just getting everything together to do a service and was wondering if I should stick to standard or go for a K&N filter?
Its already had a de-cat pipe and egr delete but everything else is standard
What do you think?

Why not? Just chuck the K&N replacement element in the airbox and you're good to go (I've got one in my D2 TD5).HOWEVER.... there is a school of thought which reckons the filter oil on the K&N gets sucked onto the MAF sensor and buggers it up, not sure about that, unless the filter is dripping in oil in the first place.

I have a K&N filter on my Audi TT, unless you over oil the filter when you clean it you wont draw oil over the MAF.

I just change my normal one every couple of thousand miles.
You can pick them up for a few quid each

Do it!
Just put one in mine (other car already had one). Possibilities of better performance AND it will pay for itself eventually.
