KN AIR FILTER

Am not very sure about how long it'll work.
K&N usually claims that its filters are for lifetime and dont need any changing.

But then, i really am not seeing a need for changing over to K&N now. My personal feeling though.

If any one needs it, i could get it frm a local dealer here. Its freely available here in Mumbai.

You could also find Local Dealers here.

Hi Kaustuv,

Waiting for your reply. The link I provided is for Logan 1.6L 8V Van. I think, it will fit in our 1.6 GLX.

What are they paying you mate

hahahah..
Its just a FRIENDLY Gesture Stu,
I found it out (BTW) from the K&N website

Hi Ashwin,

I have provided the local dealer with the product code 57-0356. It seems to be the closest match. However I am waiting for a response them. In the meantime if someone could validate whether this is the right match or not, it would be really helpful.

Hi,

Finally there is some good news for the 1.6 owners. I have been able to get a K&N filter. I have procured the same from Bangalore. However, I have not yet received the same. It is still there with the person. I will get it during the weekend. I will let you know the details then.
The price is Rs 11,000/- and the installation charges in Kolkata is Rs 1000/-. So the total price will come to Rs 12,000/-. I will let you know the part number and other details next week.

With Regards,

Kaustuv Goswami.

Eagerly waiting for the updates ! All the best

( I assume the model will fit the 1.4L engine as well..)

Save the money and put it in the bank...........If it is 11000 today, it ll certainly be a lot cheaper tomorrow.....besides, you may change you mind later as well....

Hi,

I think the one for 1.6 will also fit in 1.4. Regarding the money factor, it seems that in the long run, K&N filter will save a lot of money. Reason being, improvement in mileage and it is one time affair. K&N gives a guarantee of 1,00,000 miles which means that we don't need to change filter after every 10,000 Kms as with the OEM filters. Please see the You Tube link below for a comparison between K&N filters and OEM filters.

A 1000 Rs installation charge is absurd. The A.S.S charges less that a tenth of that amount to replace an air filter.

So you are spending Rs 12K. That would have bought you 30 of the "stock" air filters - good for 3 lac Km's of driving.

IMHO - you are being ripped off. The K&N filters have no real benefits and will actually do more harm than good (by letting in more dirt into your engine).

Also, the K&N filters require a proprietary cleaning kit (for them to be cleaned and re-used every 10,000 Km). You'll spend more on that. A stock filter is the best choice - don't be taken in by marketing claims.

Any updates Kaustav ??

Agree with Tandon about the K&N filters.

Me too the filters that you have with your motor is designed for that motor
it does the job it should and does it well !!!! Why change a winning team

Hi,

The product code is RC-5052. I have not yet been able to install the same in the car. But will get the same done in a day or two. Will let know once done.

Regards,

Kaustuv.

Hi,

I have got the filter fitted today. The work has been done quite well. I will post the photo of the same soon. I will have to take a drive in the highway to actually judge the difference. However, it seems that the engine has been somewhat smoother and the acceleration has increased somewhat. I will provide a detailed update after a highway drive.

Kaustuv

Hi,

A small correction on my part. The product code I have provided is only for the filter. But for installation purpose the whole kit will be required. The product code for the entire kit is 57A-6045. It is a cold air intake system. It is specifically designed for Renault Twigo but fits into our Logan very well.

Please let me know in case you require any further information on the same.

Regards,
Kaustuv.

Yes Petrol ones need Cold Air Intake System (CAI) where filter attached to a bigger hose and Diesel ones require only Filter replacement - takeout old and put new.

Hi,

I have been testing the mileage of my car after the filter replacement for some time. I have not yet got a change to do a check on the highways. However, I have done the same in city and found the mileage to be in the range of 13-13.5 Km/ltr which earlier used to be 12-12.5 Km/Ltr.

Regards,

Kaustuv

can anyone give me an idea about the performance difference(power mileage) when using a k&n filter...also how much it will cost me to install one...is there any prob in changing the new filter?
