Why bother with an STi filter? They are a waste of money, just go for the standard genuine filter, also the old type black filter is available from Advanced Automotives for £16 inc delivery as a lot of people don't like the newer type blue filters.

Winston, Ceri,

These have a good reputation amongst garages and that's why I bought one. The plug is a bonus and very useful. A piece of wee wee to remove as they have the nut on the bottom of the filter.

Just call me Captain .
