Guest bartbass Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 would fitting an aftermarket airfilter afect the engine longterm or terminally cause i my first xantia i fitted one and 6months later the big end went and i was told it was cause of the filter?both are 1.9 turbo diesels. Quote
DickieG Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Whilst anything is possible I've yet to hear of using an aftermarket air filter has caused a big end to fail :rolleyes: If however you were talking of an aftermarket OIL filter then yes that would make sense as some cheap oil filters don't have internal valves that retain oil pressure thereby reducing the time taken on start up for the engine to get up to full oil pressure. If you're unsure of where to buy a decent air filter from try www.gsfcarparts.com Quote
