Fitted a new Air filter

Postby country_Est on Sat Dec 15, 2007 8:05 pm

Hi,

I had this lieing around the garage and treid fitting it today. It was off a Siearra 2.0 4x4 estate.

Starts OK runs OK BUT (and you knew one was comming) when under load @2.5 - 3.5K rpm these is a definate rattle comming form the induction. Cant reproduce whilst on the drive, so was wondering whether to
a) Take if off.
b) Leave it on and put up with the noise
c) Only use when looking to go laning / Off road to raise the air intake.

Probably find it's too small and isn't able to suck enough air and as such it's basically rattling due to the amount of pressure on it, it's either rattle or implode?

(anyone else got an idea?) ;)
