K&N Air filter

Just arrived from ECS, I installed my smoked tail lights on my '08 wagon. Has the Euro version rear fog. When signaling they change from red to amber when blinking, unlike the US version is always red. And the internal housing of the lights that are normally chrome are blacked out. Love'em.

Pros: amber signal, blacked out housing

i have it in my 2002 passat gls and seems to be working fine so far for 500miles. I guess it does help gas milage a bit from what i've seen so far and helps a bit when carrying maximum passengers (5) in the vehicle cause i need all the torque i can get. Every little bit counts

Pros: working fine, helps gas mileage, helps with torque
Mileage: 500 km

K&N Air filter

I've had the K&N in my V6 for the last 50,000 miles without any problems. When it came time to clean it I let it dry thoroughly (over 24 hours) before oiling, lightly oiled it, and let it soak in thoroughly before installing.

Pros: no problems, good longevity
Cons: requires careful cleaning/oiling
Mileage: 50000 km

In my passator, I had a KnN right on the maf, it felt awesome but when the engine gets hot, the hood thermo liner didn't let any heat escape, to the car felt like an 8v

Pros: felt awesome
Cons: sluggish when hot

K&N Air filter

I had my k&n installed on my passat at 19k miles, i have had no problems but was warned when i purchased it to not put too much oil on it when you clean it as to not @!#@! up the MAF. I haven't noticed a performance gain with the K&N, however when the stock one was put back in i noticed how quiet my engine was when reving hard. I don't like it at all so im putting in another k&n(i like the noise)

Pros: no problems, preferred engine noise
Cons: no performance gain, requires careful oiling
Mileage: 19000 km

I have had a K&N in my 1999 Passat for over 20,000 miles. No CEL's or any other problems. I didn't notice any siginificant performance gains, possibly a 1 mpg increase in gas mileage. To be safe, I haven't put a K&N in my 2001.

Pros: no CELs, no problems, slight gas mileage increase
Cons: no significant performance gains, potential incompatibility with newer models
Mileage: 20000 km

I installed per instructions a K&N air filter to my 2000 VW Passat. Upon Driving the first 3 hours after installation my check engine light illuminated and a warning message appeared on my trip computer stating "Emissions Workshop!" VW stated that the error was a result of a faulty air mass sensor. It was determined by VW that Oil from the K&N filter had fouled the sensor and the sensor could not be cleaned. I now wish that I had not installed your product at all, because now at this point I am screwed. I am also out $579.41 for less than 3 hours of use of your product.

Cons: fouled MAF sensor, check engine light, costly repair, short lifespan
