I called the AA out today as an oil seal on my turbo has blown, and there is also damage to the bearings.
He popped my bonnet and was happy to see that I was using a K&N panel filter as opposed to a cone filter.
He said that he was sick of repairing 'pathetic boy racer's' car's who bolt on a pathetic induction filter and who's cars are sucking in way too much air, decreasing the car's life ten-fold and totally fucking up the engine's fuel and air mixture.
He said that even K&N induction kits are only truly meant for performance vehicles which adjust to the extra air intake, and K&N have taken advantage of the 'silly people' who choose to bolt one on to a tiny engine just for the noise.
Notice how on the K&N panel filter boxes, K&N offer a guarantee against engine damage caused by their filter, but the same guarantee does not appear on their induction kit boxes!!
He said that if all vehicles had engine management warning lights, anyone who had a cone filter would constantly see their management light telling them to take the bloody cone back off and put up with the car the way it was built!!
At the end of the day, it's personal opinion. But when you've had as many engine related problems as me, you start to wish you'd not started fucking about with a once-reliable engine!!
