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. Transparency, Teamwork
... there was another T.
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.
Best regards, Mike.
P.S.: Would an open air intake cause any problems right now? Besides the mass airflow sensor (MAF).

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Meanwhile, it has been replaced by a dCi engine, also with a 1.9-liter displacement and 80 horsepower, and I suspect the low-pressure cooling system is still missing.

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!
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).

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  , it's a tricky thing  - opinions vary greatly...
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]

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

Okay, I'll do it with pleasure; I'll build it on Saturday...

I hope that with the hearing test, this issue is finally closed...
Otherwise, we might soon be discussing blue or red hubcaps here, which are about as useful...

It's completely pointless to continue this discussion.
