Cleaning a K&N air filter
 

i've had my K&N air filter on the car for over a year now and it's look kinda black. how do you go about cleaning these things?

sorry if this is a daft question :D

You can buy a K&N cleaning kit (about

:iagree:

I've got a kit sitting here somewhere. Comes with cleaner and oil to re-oil the filter.

halfrauds?

Worth a punt. Check on their website.

What everyone else said.

Bought mine from Demon Tweaks, did it every 6 months as I had a snorkel on as well.

Hellfrauds do stock them. I bought one a few months ago to clean the filter in my PRM intake. Still haven't got around to doing it :rolleyes:

It's well easy mark. Take the filter out of the PRM by unscrewing for small screws which you will find as they are dimpled , just break the seal on the sticker that covers them. The filter slides out. Spray with K and N cleaner, wash under a tap , then leave to dry overnight. Re oil in morning, Easy , even I can do it :D

just buy a new one.

The K&N cleaning kit shouldn't cost more than a tenner. When you oil the filter, make sure you wrap it in newspapers for the excessoil to drain away.
