K&N Purchase !

[Guest rssid]

Ok so after running around and calling different places I've finally laid my grubby meathooks on this, Yep yep K&N airfilter for the W204 C200 at a really good price too wheee !

Anyways pics are attached as well once again from my crappy iphone3g camera however I forgot to take pics of the installation zzzzz i'm a dolt. Anyways heres the break down on prices when I rang around to hunt.

KBS -$158 (Ready stock no free cleaning)

McWell Ventures $158 (No Stock takes 2 mths to arrive FOC cleaning)

Autobacs $158 (No stock takes approx 1 working week to arrive)

Other K&N distri from K&N Website $158 without installation

My Purchase $140 flat no free cleaning, DiY installation

Part Number E-2011 cone type

Check your part number below

Installation is dead simple as i've had K&N's filters before just 6 screws to access the airbox, pop off the top and theres the ugly pink OEM airfilter sitting there. Give it a good yank towards the front of the car and it pops off replace with new K&N airfilter and reverse steps for a happier ride.

If anyone wants one i can help pickup a couple more at the same price and help with the installation. So far i've felt that the engine is breathing easier and it revs up faster, theres a cleaning kit you can buy for an additional $26 or $27 bucks comes with the cleaner and oil. So far i've not had problems with K&N and am enjoying it everytime i pull the car out for a drive.

hi bro

great to hear of your purchase. personally im using hurricane and the airflow is supposedly better than k&n and easier to clean just air blow but supposedly filtration even worse than k&n

[Guest rssid]

Yuppers thats why i dont trust hurricane, stainless steel mesh aint gonna do much filteration except for the bigger particules.

I bought from this company 1 year ago:

Speedworks Pte Ltd: 85 Genting Lane #03-04 Guan Hua Warehouse Bldg Tel: 67437288

See old thread: http://www.sgmerc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7092&page=2

If I remember correctly, I paid $100 each for the filter, both for my W204 and bmw. The part number is the same, E-2011. Can check them out since it is much cheaper.

[Guest rssid]

Called and verified yes the place does have the part dang, should have waited and searched the forum a bit more thourghly.

[Guest alpha82]

NewC180:

uh? how come such huge difference in prices? the rest selling at $158. yet this SpeedWorks selling at just $100? Btw, K&N got fake ones in the market or not? If so, how to tell between fake and real?

Rssid:

Bro, regarding the photos you uploaded, the 4th photo shows a pink and beige filter. Is that your original OEM filter? Or is that the K&N filter? I thought the K&N filter should be red ??? Also, why is there a need to clean a newly opened filter? i thought a new set of KK&N filter comes readily oiled already? (pardon me if i'm wrong... i'm looking to get myself a new set of filters. so checking around.)

Hope any brothers who know the answers, don't mind do share with me ya? thanks!

[Guest rssid]

Yes Pink one is the OEM one as i've CLEARLY stated in my post. Cleaning services is because the K&N airfilters do get dirty after xxxxxx number of kms.

No idea why it's cheaper (but I'm not complaining!). That was the price I've paid about a year ago, dunno if it is the same now. They are authentic, complete with K&N packaging, stickers etc etc. You can see all kinds of K&N filters displayed in their office.

Just found out that steven(sells the HiDs) also selling the K&N airfilter and cleaning kit at really good prices !

[Guest Clear Vision]

1) Any one know what's the cost of the Stock engine air filter? That will help me decide if worth to change to K&N filter given it last longer than stock filter whereby it need to be change at 30,000km.

2) Another question where to buy the Stock filter and what the approx.cost?

I am always a believer of stock engine filter and change regularly myself with purchase from

Sin Ming shop. But have check several shops last week and they dont carry.

Thanks

[Guest rssid]

Just call MB if you're after the stock filter I dont think it costs much seeing as its made of paper.

Just to contribute for those interested in K&N

(...for those who are more DIY-inclined...and don't mind saving some $$ for kopi..erm in fact many cups of starbucks....)

Order your K&N through Amazon.com and get them to ship to your VPOST USA address (free shipping for >USD25). Pay VPOST to forward ship to your singapore address.

Eg. of the K&N filter model for my car....

http://www.amazon.com/33-2181-Replacement-Air-Filter/dp/B00062ZSCC/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285324293&sr=8-1 Can easily find your exact application by the filter finder function embedded in the above link.

As I need 2 pieces of the filters: total product cost= USD47X2 = USD94=~S$125

VPost charged me about S$40+ (cheaper if you only need 1 piece)

total damage: ~S$125 + S$40 = S$165-S$175.

McWell quoted me S$240:tsk:

Time: 1-2weeks from ordering to arriving at the doorstep

DIY cost: free

DIY time: 15 min + dirty hands:whistle:

See the dirt and dead leaves.......some US W203 owner even reported finding a dried up dead mouse carcass inside!

[Guest rssid]

Ups for new members info !

[Guest achuafc]

K&N air filter for C180 CGI owners is 33-2965. You can do a search from K&N's website.

Bought my air filter from amazon and cost me only US$47.45!
