Re: Re:


I changed the filter. The old one didn't seem bad at all actually so I'll keep it as a spare for now
(assuming the pink colour is original.. It's a repco one btw Iebelieve)

Re:


Yep, Personally, I probably would not have changed it looking at that one ( yes, pink is original colour) as it's still in very good condition - but as you say, keep it as the spare just in case....

Re: Possibility of a fake K&N, or poor manufacturing?


Hey all,
I just received my K&N filter for a T30. Bought through ebay from an Australian seller at a price that was just a touch under whats going at the moment.
Arrived quickly, but the box was a little damaged and one end was opened. The filter appeared to still be sealed in thin plastic.

Thing is, i am a little concerned about fakes as the filter has a lot of broken off bits of thin rubber on the clean and dirty side, where the media becomes impregnated with the rubber seal material. They appear to be thin strips leftover from the moulding process. I am concerned that these would break off on the clean side and cause issues.

I am not sure this is a fake as there is a K&N logo and part number moulded in the side and it is oily, but it would bother me if it was genuine. Doesn't seem like a good idea to leave bits of rubber sitting around detached on the clean side...

Anyone had this issue on your filters?

Re:


This seems like a very old stock that seen a lengthy time on the shelf and that could be the reason it’s cheaper.

I’d return it to the seller and ask for a fresh one. The rubber seal is important to be in good shape.
