K&N Replacement Air Filter for Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda Octavia and Seat Leon Vehicles

Après avoir lu ce titre une question raisonnable pourrait être posée- qu'est-ce qu'une Octavia Skoda et une Seat Leon. Permettez-nous d'élargir votre I.Q automobile; les deux sont des variantes de la plate-forme Volkswagen Groupe A qui partagent de nombreux composants avec la Golf et la Jetta de Volkswagen, et la TT d'Audi et les modèles A3. La Skoda Octavia est l'interprétation de la République Tchèque de la plate-forme VW mondialement populaire et la Seat Leon est originaire de l'Espagne. Les deux modèles, ainsi que certains modèles de l'Audi S3, les modèles A3 et la VW Golf partagent un autre point commun, ils reçoivent tous les gains de performances perceptibles par simple mise à niveau vers un filtre à air K&N 33-3005 de haute performance et réutilisable.

La nouvelle entrée à la liste des applications de véhicule pour le filtre à air 33-3005 est la VW Golf VII en diesel 2013. Toute nouvelle, la septième génération de Golf de Volkswagen a fait ses débuts l'an dernier au Car Show à Paris et elle est allée sur le marché en Europe en Novembre 2012. Le patron de la V-double Martin Winterkorn a poussé fort pour atteindre son objectif de faire de la VW la marque Nº 1 du monde de voitures en 2018. Pour ce fait, Winterkorn a fait sortir la prochaine génération de Golf sur le marché un an ou deux plus tôt que prévu.

La Golf VII de 2.0L de diesel est signalée à pomper une puissance de 148, et maintenant par simple mise à jour du filtre à air OE avec un filtre à air K&N 33-3005, vous n'aurez pas seulement à améliorer la performance globale de tous les véhicules listés, mais vous allez aussi assurer une excellente filtration de l'air et la protection du moteur.

Créé pour augmenter à la fois la puissance et le couple, et fait pour tenir dans votre boîte existante de l'air de la manufacture sans grain, le filtre à air K&N 33-3005 réutilisable sera le dernier filtre à air que vous aurez besoin d'acheter pour votre liste énumérée de véhicules – la célèbre Garantie K&N limitée d'un Million de Mile vous assure de cela. En fonction de vos conditions de conduite, les intervalles de service peuvent aller jusqu'à 50.000 miles avant que le nettoyage soit nécessaire, et le nettoyage du filtre à air est très simple en suivant les quatre étapes de nettoyage sur un Kit de Recharge K&N (réf. 99-5050).

K&N remplacement du filtre à air pour Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Polo, Skoda Octavia et Seat Leon

La Skoda Octavia, la Seat Leon, l'Audi A3, la Volkswagen Golf, les Volkswagen Jetta et Volkswagen Polo (pour ne citer que quelques-unes) sont toutes les variantes internationales de la plate-forme Volkswagen Groupe A. Bien qu'elles partagent de nombreux composants, chacune est conçue pour occuper un créneau spécifique du marché dans les pays où elles sont vendues. La Volkswagen Polo GT 2013, par exemple, est conçue pour faire appel au ventilateur de vanne du chaud, conscient de l'environnement.

Vue côté du filtre à air de remplacement pour Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Polo, Skoda Octavia et Seat Leon.

La Volkswagen a introduit cette alternative de la Polo au Salon de Genève 2012 comme un moyen de combler l'écart entre la Polo 105-hp 1.2 FSI et la Polo 180-hp GTI. Cette nouvelle fabrication de 140-hp est remarquable car ce n'est pas seulement rapide, l'accélération va de 0 à 60 en une respectable 7,8 secondes, et elle respecte également l'économie de carburant, pour atteindre 50 mpg combinés sur le cycle d'essai Européen.

Le moteur turbocompressé de 1,4 litre atteint ces chiffres impressionnants, car il dispose de désactivation de cylindres ou ACT, comme l'appelle la Volkswagen. Traduire cela signifie que le moteur est capable de désactiver la moitié de ses quatre-cylindres à faible charge des gaz légers. Un fait intéressant est qu'il n'y a pas de changement appréciable en vibration parce que lorsque le moteur passe de quatre à deux cylindres, les quatre cylindres continuent à fonctionner, mais seulement deux sont nourris de carburant.

Un autre point commun qui relie ces voitures de plate-forme Volkswagen est que chacune peut obtenir un gain de performances après simplement la mise à niveau vers un filtre à air K&N 33-3004 de haut débit. Conçu pour augmenter à la fois la puissance et le couple et désigné pour simplement le déposer dans la boîte à air de la manufacture existante, il ne prend que quelques minutes pour mettre à niveau votre filtre existant avec le K&N de 33-3004 et de profiter par vous-mêmes des avantages de performance ajoutés.

Ce sera le dernier filtre à air dont vous aurez besoin d'acheter pour votre véhicule - vous avez votre Garantie limitée reconnue d'un Million de Mile soutenue par K&N sur demande. En fonction de votre environnement de conduite, les intervalles de service peuvent aller jusqu'à 50.000 miles avant que l'entretien soit nécessaire, et le nettoyage du filtre est très facile en suivant les quatre étapes pratiques sur un kit de Recharge de K&N (réf. 99-5050).

The K&N 33-2125 filter features cotton gauze construction that, besides protecting the engine, brings a greater surface area and increased airflow to your engine.

Volkswagen owners may not all be enthusiasts, but the Volkswagen Passat could make an enthusiast out of you, even if yours is simply a family car with chores to do. The Passat got a good start in 1973 with a new front-mounted, water-cooled engine, front wheel drive derived from recently acquired Audi technology, and a unique fastback hatch design from Italian genius Giorgetto Giugiaro. Within its first year on the road, it was tagged as the most modern family vehicle of its time; the people's car with pizzazz, if you will, stepping in where the aging Beetle was stepping out.

Fast forward to 1996 and generation five of the Passat was introduced as an all-new vehicle on the VW-Audi B5 platform. Aerodynamic engineering on the sedan (saloon) brought its coefficient of drag down to 0.27 percent. It returned to the shared Audi transverse-mounted engine in five versions (including a 2.3-liter V5 Audi-derived gasoline power plant) plus turbocharged direct injection (TDI) for both the diesel and gasoline-powered models.

All wheel drive became an option in 1997 with the Torsen limited slip differential for the 1.8-liter, 2.8-liter v6, 1.9-liter TDI, and 2.5-liter V6 TDI, plus four transmissions (two manual and two automatic). Independent four-link front suspension and a semi-independent torsion beam for the 4WD cars and a shiftable manumatic 5-speed trans option brought the car further to the turn of the 21st century with distinction.

The Passat family grew to 13 engine versions by 2001, including the 4.0-liter W8, a new technology (the block was shaped like a "W") being tested in the top-of-range luxe Passat until 2004, when it formally debuted as the W12 in the Volkswagen Phaeton and Audi A8.

An engine air filter service is a routine but vital part of ensuring the longevity 71 models of 1996-2005 Passats, yet it is easy, and instructions come in every box.

Still positioned between the Beetle and the Golf/Jetta, the Passat holds down an important people-mover market segment for VW worldwide. Wherever you drive yours, you will be maintaining it on a regular schedule to keep it reliable, which includes an air cleaner service. Replacing the engine air filter is a routine, but vital part of ensuring the longevity of every car. Even with such an array of different engines, these 1996-2005 Passats all share the same air filter, and replacing it is a straightforward task requiring no special tools.

What has been available for some time is a replacement filter that is also easily washable and reusable: the K&N 33-2125 engine air filter. It is a panel style, rectangular cotton gauze filter that brings a greater surface area and increased air flow to the engine. More air to the engine equates to more horsepower and torque for a crisper throttle response in whichever engine version your Passat has. Additionally, the 33-2125's design and engineering provides outstanding protection for the engine. When tested by K&N's in-house laboratory, it worked at 98.73 percent capacity, trapping dangerous particles that could harm the engine.

You may inspect and clean your 33-2125 as often as you wish, but it will last up to 50,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. The process is simple and a set of printed instructions accompanies each filter. There are even videos available online to walk you through the simple filter service process.

To clean this filter most efficiently, use the K&N 99-5050 Filter Care Service Kit. Spray with Power Kleen spray; rinse in running water; let it thoroughly air dry, then re-oil it with the Air Cleaner Oil before refitting it to the air box. K&N engine air filters are even warranted for 10 years or 1 million miles, so you won't ever need to buy a new engine air filter for your Passat again.

Your loyalty to your Passat deserves an investment in engine protection from K&N. You can view all the air filters that K&N makes for the VW Passat at the Air Filters for the Volkswagen Passat page. You can view all the K&N performance products for any vehicle by using the Search by Vehicle tool and you can find a local K&N retailer by plugging your location into the K&N Dealer Search as well.

Todd Gilliland won the NASCAR K&N Pro Series race at Iowa Speedway. It was his fourth win in the K&N Pro Series this season and the fifth of his career.

Todd Gilliland won the NASCAR K&N Pro Series race at Iowa Speedway, leading 114 laps of the Casey's General Store 150, and putting another notch in the belt of West Series teams.

The K&N Pro Series race at Iowa Speedway pits the drivers and teams from the West and East Series. Gilliland, who races for Bill McAnally Racing in the K&N Pro Series West, won his fourth race of the season and the fifth of his career.

"For the 16 car to win here three times in a row I think that really shows that the West is just as good if not the same or better than the East Coast," Gilliland said. "Everyone's been working super hard out there. I think it's a big boost of confidence to everyone out there."

Todd Gilliland won the NASCAR K&N Pro Series race at Iowa Speedway leading 114 laps of the Casey's General Store 150.

The K&N Pro Series East had six drivers in the top 10 at the race at Iowa Speedway. The K&N Pro Series West had four drivers in the top 10.

Gilliland started on the front row with pole winner Kyle Benjamin. Benjamin led the first 27 laps of the race before Gilliland past him on lap 28. The two drivers swapped the lead until lap 38, when Gilliland took over for 42 laps.

"It was kind of big tonight to be the leader on the restarts," Gilliland said. "Choose where you want to go and get the jump on them right away. Once you get out to the lead, you can kind of pace yourself out there. I'd say restarts were pretty big out there tonight."

His dad, David Gilliland, a driver in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, was Todd Gilliland's spotter in the K&N Pro Series race. David Gilliland told his son to be patient on the restarts. The strategy paid off as Todd Gilliland was able to put some distance between his car and the others in the field after every restart.

Kyle Benjamin (40) leads the field at the start of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series race at Iowa Speedway. Benjamin won the pole and led the first 27 laps of the race.

"It's always a little bit easier to learn the track when you have a great car right off the trailer," Gilliland said. "I felt that's what kind of helped me. The car was really good. I'd say that's just everyone working together really well. That's what let me move around and find where the car worked best."

Benjamin crossed the finish line in second place and was the first K&N Pro Series East driver. He led 26 laps in the race, but lost the lead on lap 84 to Gilliland. Gilliland led the last 66 laps of the race.

"I knew he would be tough to beat," Benjamin said. "I was tight behind him. I couldn't really do anything with him. He got away from us a little bit."

Benjamin posted his sixth top-five finish of the season in the K&N Pro Series East. He is second in the K&N Pro Series East standings and trails Justin Haley by 32 points after 10 races.

Kyle Benjamin won the pole for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series race at Iowa Speedway. It was his fourth pole position of the season and his second in a row.

Gilliland leads the K&N Pro Series standings by three points over Ryan Partridge after eight races. Gilliland has won four K&N Pro Series races and has seven top-five finishes. He also won the K&N Pro Series East season opener at New Smyrna Speedway in Florida. Gilliland has been tough to beat in the K&N Pro Series East and West.

"Once I got behind him, he would just take off and leave us," Benjamin said. "He pinned us down pretty hard on the initial start. Might have been able to do something with him but he was pushing pretty hard getting off on the corner. I couldn't keep my car in line."

Austin Theriault was third overall and the second-place driver from the East Series. He has three top-five finishes in a row and has six top-five finishes in 10 races. He was the runner-up in the K&N Pro Series East race at Columbus Speedway in Ohio and was third at the K&N Pro Series East race at Virginia International Raceway.

The next K&N Pro Series East race is the Bunny Hill Vineyards 100 at Watkins Glen International in New York on Aug. 5. The next K&N Pro Series West race is the Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 at Evergreen Speedway in Washington on Aug. 13.
