Review: We'll see if it works - Much thinner which is better and is better made than stock paper filters in my opinion. There's claims on here that it helps with MPG so we'll see if it helps my turbo diesel with that, was making 36 combined on a paper filter. I have a Jetta 2011 TDI which at low rpms seems to kind of choke I guess you can say. I drove it a bit after installing and it seemed to be better, the choke didn't seem to happen but the turbo lag is still prevalent, by that I mean you want to go after coming to a stop at a stoplight in traffic but the car only wants to slowly roll... so you give a bit more gas and it's more than what you wanted and you GUN IT LOL, I know you can gently press the gas and it does work that way just sometimes it kicks up on you. F.Y.I it comes pre-oiled from factory, just plug and play, easy installation only need a 25 torx bit to unscrew the filter cap screws (8 screws need to come off). Will probably come back and update my MPG, see if it goes above 36 combined.
Review: Noticable improvement. The engine and turbo breathe MUCH better - I've been playing with my cars off and on for over 20 years, and have heard so many false claims of power from so many products, but K&N filters are the real deal. Just purchased a MKVI Jetta last week, and installed the new filter over the weekend. Now, Im not going to claim any fantastic HP gains. BUT, you will notice an IMMEDIATE difference in throttle response and turbo lag. The engine just breathes better. Faster throttle response, faster spool up, and a much smoother acceleration. If I do more work to the car, I may consider replacing it with a full CAI, but even if I do, you better believe it will be another K&N on the end of it. added to the performance, you have a better filter than OEM, that doesn't need to be replaced anytime soon.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there any filter for Golf GTI MK7?**
A: I'm not sure. Check out "knfilters.com" and search the applications section to see if there are any filters for that model.

**Q: purchased for a 2016 tiguan ,fits fine but the filter is not as deep as the stock one. a good inch shorter. is that the way its made ?**
A: Yep! It's all fine with that, this is the point of the filter (it's finer), if it fits fine in the intake box you're good to go! Just clean it every 3000-4000km and don't forget to apply the special oil on it before instalation.

**Q: Will this fit a 2013 Passat SE**
A: No, the K&N High Performance Replacement Air Filter 33-2865 is not the correct filter for a 2013 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT SE 2.5L

**Q: Will this fit a 2012 audi a3 tdi?**
A: I bought mine for an 2012 a3 tdi. The air box should be the same with your car but you might want to check with the seller.
