High-Flow Original Lifetime Engine Air Filter: Increase Power: Premium, Washable: Compatible with Audi/Volkswagen: (See Product Description for Select Models) 33-2865

Much thinner which is better and is better made than stock paper filters in my opinion. There's claims on here that it helps with MPG so we'll see if it helps my turbo diesel with that, was making 36 combined on a paper filter. I have a Jetta 2011 TDI which at low rpms seems to kind of choke I guess you can say. I drove it a bit after installing and it seemed to be better, the choke didn't seem to happen but the turbo lag is still prevalent, by that I mean you want to go after coming to a stop at a stoplight in traffic but the car only wants to slowly roll... so you give a bit more gas and it's more than what you wanted and you GUN IT LOL, I know you can gently press the gas and it does work that way just sometimes it kicks up on you. F.Y.I it comes pre-oiled from factory, just plug and play, easy installation only need a 25 torx bit to unscrew the filter cap screws (8 screws need to come off). Will probably come back and update my MPG, see if it goes above 36 combined.

I've been playing with my cars off and on for over 20 years, and have heard so many false claims of power from so many products, but K&N filters are the real deal. Just purchased a MKVI Jetta last week, and installed the new filter over the weekend. Now, Im not going to claim any fantastic HP gains. BUT, you will notice an IMMEDIATE difference in throttle response and turbo lag. The engine just breathes better. Faster throttle response, faster spool up, and a much smoother acceleration. If I do more work to the car, I may consider replacing it with a full CAI, but even if I do, you better believe it will be another K&N on the end of it. added to the performance, you have a better filter than OEM, that doesn't need to be replaced anytime soon.

Installed in a 2016 Jetta sport. Makes a difference when it comes to throttle response.

I drive a 2010 B6 (Passat) with the TSI and DSG. My previous Passat was APR Stage 2+ so I missed not having any turbo lag but I don't have time to get to my guys at APTuning to install my new toys so I ordered the K&N filter. This filter is about 1/3 of the thickness of the OEM filter and fits perfectly. As soon as I started the car I noticed that it started and idled smoother. Then I put it in Drive and almost all of the turbo lag was gone! And my commute was averaging 25.5 mpg with mixed city/highway/stomping on the gas/cruising at 65. Now I am getting 30.5 mpg! Unreal! In about 9 weeks of commuting just to work and back this filter will have paid for itself! Add in all the other trips and it will be sooner than that. Now the improvements are much more noticeable and drastic on the turbo motors but they require Premium Unleaded with is 45 cents more a gallon in my area. On a non-turbo you will see better MPGs and smoother idle/acceleration. This filter allows turbos to spool quicker thus producing horsepower much faster. I have a K&N in my wife's Elantra which has a 1.8L motor and she saw nice improvements. Don't delay! Order your K&N filter TODAY!

I have heard all the complaints about K&N's being expensive and not worth it. Well, after running these things in various cars for 20 years, I think they are very much worth it. Just installed this one in a 2012 VW Jetta TDI last month. I was coming off the OEM free maintenance service and knew I was going to swap out the OEM (MANN) filter with the K&N after that program came to an end. First tank full after installing I picked up an extra 12% in fuel economy. That translates to 60 miles with the TDI. I typically get 500 miles before I fill up, if I can keep it below 70 mph. Subsequent fill ups seem to be tracking in the 11% - 14% increase over the OEM filter. Cleaning is no big deal. By the time I get the oil out of the crankcase and the oil filter and fuel filter changed, the unit is dry and ready to be re-oiled and re-installed for another 50k. At least that has been my past experience using K&N products.

Great air filters, they sent me the wrong filter. Been using them for over 30+ years👌💯

I had originally purchased this filter back in 2015 when I 1st bought my car, but last year, the dealership somehow ignored the sticker about the K&N filter & threw it out, so I just bought it again & I'm so glad to have the power & fuel efficiency back. This is the quickest way to get improve both without installing a full out short ram OR Cold air intake.

This product is unbelievably amazing! You can feel the difference the moment you install it, even the sound of my car sounds a little more aggressive and I love it! Plus, you can wash it and reuse it! For some reason Amazon says it does not fit my 2015 VW Jetta SE 1.8 TSI, but that is incorrect it was a perfect fit, in case it says the same for your vehicle just go and check on the K&N website.
