deadhead7 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi, i have been looking for an air filter for my 1.7SDi Seat arosa, and only come across; "SEAT AROSA 1.7L SDI 60hp (97>) - Single Cone Induction Kit"which is £95.20.. Link; http://www.greenfilters.co.uk/Green_Filters_by_Application_-_Panel_Filters_&_Induction_kits-SEAT-AROSA/c812_1081_1082/p200805/SEAT_AROSA_1.7L__SDI_60hp_(97%3E)_-_Single_Cone_Induction_Kit/product_info.htmlThe problem I have is that I don't really want to spend £95.20 +p&p on an air filter when there are several on the market which are about £25-£30But when buying these cheaper ones on the market, causes problems when fixing them as they will touch the "gas oil filter" and get squashed when the bonnet is shut. Where as the one for £95.20 makes it so that this doesn't happenWhich fits like this;Does anyone have and advice, experience or recommendations to something which works the same but is a fair bit cheaper, or maybe something which i can put together myself with a cheaper filter.

mr_pink_78 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 By the way, I wouldn't necessarily use a cone filter plugged straight into the inlet manifold cos it'll just suck in hot air.I got a 20 quid cone filter from Halfords, stuffed it down behind the headlight and used a 1 metre bendy silicon pipe from merlinmotorsport (27 quid delivered) and 2 55-70 mm jubilee clips for a quid.That way it can draw from the cold air coming through the grille, and from the cold air feed that used to supply the old pipe.Job done.
