Hey all,

I recently bought a replacement K&N panel filter for my 53 plate VTR, i came today and wont go in, i took the air box out and the standard filter is kinda square whereas the one they have sent is rectangle.
Here's the one i ordered...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/K-N-AIR-FILTER-FITS-CITROEN-SAXO-VTR-1-6-8v-04-99-03-/310121632443?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4834b092bb#ht_796wt_1167

Fits...K&N 57i High Flow Air Filter 33-2772
Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6 Litre 8v 04/1999-2003

However now looking harder ive found this one....

a different part number....33-2227

Can anyone put me right ??

Cheers

Looks like the listed cars from K&N is a bit fucked.

The ebay ad seems to be for the valver.

You want the second one.

Ah i see, well my VTR is a 53 plate so i would presume its a 2003 model.

But your VTR doesn't have 16 valves.

Like I said earlier, The list from K&N looks wrong to me.

Aye i see what you mean now, ive been in touch with the seller and he has asked me to measure my current one against some measurements he has sent to double check.

Thanks for the help.
