K&n Filters - Free Kit

October 22, 2007

HI........I'm a R&D engineer for K&N Filters & currently we are looking for the ‘new’ Auris 1.6i models to development a new performance air filter system.

In exchange for donating a vehicle the customer will receive the product free of charge, we can also supply a free courtesy car. Thanks in advance for any help you can give us…..

Kind regards,

I would loveto help as i used to live near the main unit in Warrington and still drop by near there quite often but we have the 1.4 D4D engine.

If tis any use to you please PM me and im sure i can sort out dropping it over for a day or two as i think most of the filters on the auris's are the same?

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately we've already developed the kit for the Auris 1.4i model, 57-0674, hopefully it will be released shortly.......we're hoping this kit will fit straight onto the 1.6i. So anyone out there with a 1.6i there's a free kit waiting.....we're based in Warrington, Cheshire.

Unfortunately the D4D isn't on the development list at the moment, however keep in touch as this could change in the near future!

kingpleb have you been on the TRC-tuning.com? they have the diesel filter, is there any different in diesel filters and petrol ones? because on the pic it looks like its just the filter not he whole kit, it looks like it would fit any auris but im not sure.

I think K&N are meaning they are trying to make a Cone Air Filter kit which can vary a little bit from the different engines due to the layouts of the engine bay JP-Auris but ill have a look when i get some time.

I scraped our Auris when a white van man decided to drive into me while driving it so i'm gonna have to pay to get it sorted first off :(

I have a 1.6 but live in Ipswich, so probably too far away!

Perhaps you can tell me and other prospective interested persons, the advantages (and disavantages) of having one of your filter kits - effect on mpg, speed/power increase, insurance etc

We can supply you a free loan car including insurance, we'll make sure your car's fuelled up etc......

The advantages include improvements cosmetically to the intake, the induction noise is enhanced, million mile warranty for the filter element, increases in bhp & torque (normally 3-5%), improvements in drivability etc (over taking etc), in some cases if driven in the same manner will show improvements in fuel consumption.

Disadvantages include: some instances insurance premiums may increase slightly as its classed as a modification to original spec, If thrashing the engine all the time then the in some instances the fuel consumption may increase slightly.

Tried to be as honest as possible......

Hi........there's a induction kit coming out shortly for the Auris 1.4i - part number 57-0674. Also we already have a replacement element available for the standard airbox (basically replaces the original air filter) part number 33-2360 fits both 1.4i & 1.6i Auris, MSRP £32.25+vat. I recommend Demon Tweeks, ring & ask for Nick Smith & give my name as a contact, he's a good lad & will look after you!!! The corolla filter won't fit.

Hello Scott!

I would like to ask about the filter made for 1.4 model. Is it possible to install it on the 1.6 model, and if not, what are the differences between those two engines which make it impossible?

Would love to give you my car, but live in Finalnd, way too far :(
