Product Description

The K&N 33-2128 is a washable, reusable drop-in replacement air filter engineered for the entire VAG Mk4 / PQ34 platform - covering the Volkswagen Golf IV, Jetta Mk4, New Beetle, Bora, Golf City, Jetta City, Lavida and Clasico, Audi A3 8L, S3 8L, TT 8N, Seat Leon Mk1, Toledo II, Alhambra, and Skoda Octavia Mk1. Its 4-layer oiled cotton gauze construction delivers significantly more airflow than a stock paper filter while maintaining full engine protection across the full range of VAG engines - from the 1.4L petrol and 1.9L TDI diesel through to the 2.8L VR6 and the performance-tuned 1.8T.

Only needing cleaning every 75,000 miles, this filter is a practical lifetime upgrade for one of the widest-selling VAG platform families ever produced. Whether fitted to a base 1.6L Golf, a hot-hatch GTI 1.8T, a TDI Jetta, or an Audi TT Quattro 3.2L, the K&N 33-2128 delivers a drop-in performance upgrade with zero modification and full OEM compatibility.
