Micra 1.5 DCI K and N Filter

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi All,

Hoping someone can shed some light here,

I have a 2005 (06 plate) Micra 1.5DCI sport (think its 

the 82hp version).

Anyway ordered a K and N panel filter off ebay, went to 

fit but it was too long and narrow? 

I thought that the ebay seller must have sent the wrong 

one out however when checking the code on the box and 

dimensions of the filter against the official K and N 

website it all matches?

Basically the K and N filter is a lot longer and narrower 

than the stock version. The K and N is supposed to 

measure approx 85mm x 273mm, however the stock one looks 

twice that width and not as long - maybe 200mm at a 

guess.

I am worried that someone has modified the existing 

filter but everything sits nicely and its all boxed in 

etc and it looks just, well, 'standard', really confused 

here anyone have any ideas?

	It sounds to me like K&N have got their dimensions wrong for the filter. To be honest you are not going to gain a lot by fitting a K&N panel filter, just get a good quality replacement. Something like a blueprint one will work just as well. Mick
