Black Lupo Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Right... well when i first got the k&n, most will no they developed the 1litre one using my car...anyway... its had it... melted?? well i'm not sure whats gone on... but its snapped off, melted a little and not fixable...i really need one with a metal mounting... anyway i'm sure they couldn't use the 1.4 designed filter because i had an extra feed from somewhere... but... i dont want the k&n again... because its disintergrated and no good for the recent mod i have!sooooo bascially if i was to buy a 1.4 designed filter is it going to fit? whats the difference between the 1litre and the 1.4 ?? i cant remember... and i cant decide if i could adapt one... from what im aware i had an extra tube feeding from my original airfilter which made it different from the 1.4's... but i cant see why it couldn't be adapted to suit?? or why for that matter i had an extra tube!anyway any help would be great as it needs sorting asap... duct tape doesnt work! LOL luckily she's at the body shop for a week so i have a bit of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Lupo Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 mmm hard plastic?? though if its held on by a jubaliee must be fairly felixable? mmmm definately think its going to be metal mounted?? movement in the engine and stuff i think is causing the problem??? causing the jubaliee clip to wear through the mounting?? im soo anoyed style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
