I think the oil bath air cleaner is actually the most effective-the oil covered surface of the filter will catch a lot more dirt & debris... -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Steven Cooper [mailto:steven.cooper@optusnet.com.au] Sent: Sunday, May 02, 2004 6:33 AM To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: [T3] Air Cleaner I was considering replacing the original oil bath air cleaner on my FI '73 with a modern element type of filter eg K&N. Has any body done this? What, if any, are the consequences for engine temps and performance? My motivation is because Australia is generally pretty dusty and I think a modern filter is more effective.
