K&N's Universal Air Filters are a top choice for a wide range of applications, from racing vehicles and radio - controlled cars to generators, snowmobiles, and tractors. No matter the angle or offset diameter of your air intake, there's likely a perfect K&N filter for your equipment. These filters feature ultra - strong molded pliable rubber flanges. They absorb vibration, ensure a secure attachment, and can be stretched up to 1/16 of an inch (1.5mm) to fit between sizes. What's more, they're washable and reusable. This specific part fits the following vehicles: 2006 - 2008 Audi A3 Base, 2008 Audi TT Base, 1998 BMW 318i Base, 1997 - 1998 Mercedes - Benz C230 Base, 2001 Saab 9 - 3 Base, and 2001 - 2002 Saab 9 - 3 SE.
Using your K&N Universal Air Filter is easy. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off. Remove the old air filter and clean the filter housing. Place the K&N filter in the housing, ensuring a proper fit. The rubber flanges can be stretched a bit to fit just right. When it comes to maintenance, you don't need to replace the filter often. Instead, when it gets dirty, you can wash it. Use a mild detergent and water, then let it dry completely before reinstalling. As for precautions, always check the filter for any signs of damage before installation. If it's torn or has other issues, don't use it. Also, make sure the filter is securely attached to prevent any air leaks, which could affect your vehicle's performance.
