Tribune probably meant that he has an instrument to measure air *volumes* rather than air *mass*.

The TDI engine in the T4 without a catalytic converter has 88 horsepower and the "blue I" designation.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Okay, I'm also happy to be educated again, although I've already been told twice that I don't have one... but I'm still happier now that I do. icon_wink.gif

Best regards, Mike.

P.S.: Would an open air intake cause any problems right now? Besides the mass airflow sensor (MAF).

Hi,

Quote:

"As far as I know, there are no 1.9 TDI engines without a liquid-cooled turbocharger (LLK) used in passenger cars."


It's not a TDI, but a dTI, but they are quite similar in terms of construction. Renault actually installed something like that in the Kangoo – a 1.9 dTI without an intercooler, with 80 horsepower.

Meanwhile, it has been replaced by a dCi engine, also with a 1.9-liter displacement and 80 horsepower, and I suspect the low-pressure cooling system is still missing.

Best regards,

January.

Hi,

Let's put it another way: what do you hope to gain from such an air filter?
Whether it's air volume or air mass measurement devices, or whether they are calibrated or not, these things only provide information after the fact!
I think the money saved is better spent at the pub.

Well, I'm hoping it will be better than my current air filter, since the original one is made of paper and is completely dirty! My friend is giving me the Twister (which, by the way, is from GREEN), and we're just going to try it out to see if it actually improves performance or makes a difference in the intake noise.

Best regards, Mike.

Tuning Ideas:

If your paper filter is dirty, throw it away and put in a new one! icon_twisted.gif

You can basically forget about any intake or exhaust noise on a TDI. Instead, opt for a 10-cent tuning modification and enjoy the sound of the tires struggling for grip, especially in second gear when they're just about to lose traction (at 1600 RPM). icon_exclaim.gif icon_idea.gif icon_twisted.gif

Well, I hope it will only get better than my current air filter, since the one I have now is the original (paper) type and is completely dirty!

Hi,

Be glad that the filter is clogged and not the engine, which would have sucked all that stuff in.
Even with proper maintenance, a fabric air filter lets more particles through than a paper air filter. Therefore: just stick with it, buy a new paper filter insert, and that's all there is to it.

Hi!

I installed a K&N filter in my B4 (same engine type as yours) about a year ago.
The filter certainly won't provide more performance, but in the long run, a washable filter is likely to be cheaper than constantly buying new paper filters.
Regarding the potential oil mist, I wouldn't worry about the air volume meter – it's not a problem with these older models due to their design.
Hmm, when it comes to the cleaning power icon_confused.gif, it's a tricky thing icon_question.gif - opinions vary greatly... icon_exclaim.gif icon_question.gif icon_exclaim.gif

Best regards,
Stefan

Okay... but I can't imagine that a tornado wouldn't make any noise at all... something must change.

and this is what the parts look like: [img]http://www.green-filter.de/images/twister-rechts.jpg

Best regards, Mike.

P.S. (for everyone): I'm getting the filter as a trial, which means I won't be paying ANYTHING for it! [/img]icon_wink.gif

Okay, then install it, do a listening test, and report back to us. Then we can slowly stop with all the guessing... icon_wink.gif

I hope that with the hearing test, this issue is finally closed... icon_rolleyes.gif

Otherwise, we might soon be discussing blue or red hubcaps here, which are about as useful...

It's completely pointless to continue this discussion.

Thank you again for these insightful contributions. I'm really tired of having to read such things here repeatedly. I thought this should be a forum where one is allowed to ask even not-so-smart questions. And despite constructive answers, these kinds of responses keep coming up, and I honestly don't understand it. What exactly is lost if we discuss things here (whether it's meaningful or not doesn't matter)? And those who aren't interested should just leave it alone. icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif icon_mad.gif
