  • K&N gave me the wrong filter

    I just got my K&N filter and on installing it found they gave me the right filter just it doesnt fit due to be the wrong shape and size, the one they gave me is a long panel type, and the one in my TDi 2008 is 5 sided and more of a block shape. I had a look on the K&N website and all the other filters for the polo are just like the one they gave me. is there something im doing wrong?

    Thanks,

        The part number was 33-2865, this was what the website came up with for the diesel 1.9, http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=33-2830

        This is the shape of my current filter

            Yes the one on the K&N site (33-2830) is the one in the polo gti and and 99% sure TDI. Thats the one you should have got. I assume the sent you the 33-2865 which is the wrong one.

            Its just when you said it had 5 sides it made me curious.

            Where did you buy it??

              This is the shape of my current filter
              33-2830 is the GTI 1.8T filter
              33-2865 is for various diesel VW's, but no mention of the Polo TDI anywhere on the K&N website.

              take a pic of your original, and we can tell you if its the same as the GTI filter. Or just compare the dimensions to those on the K&N site.
