Air filter size
« on: April 20, 2020, 08:16:52 am »
Just putting a Euro car parts order together in my boredom and I see 2 different sized air filters listed for my car.
Does anyone know which one is correct, they seem to differ by only a few mm.
Thickness wise one is 30 mm and the other 32 mm.
2008 Edition 30.
Thanks

I can't find dimensions for it...apparently, what you are seeing is the only listed dimensions...or did you measure them yourself? All filters I see for the MK5-fsi state they are for all. With that, I can't imagine 2mm would make a difference with fitting or not.

I put my registration in and it brings up 2 filters with slightly differing dimensions, no explanation on the fitment description.
As you say probably doesn’t matter a few mm.
