Good point, admittedly I didn’t and it has been driving nicely, so either it was clean or the damage was done.
The car seems slightly quieter in terms of the knock that I get at idle. Granted it could be placebo effect. I was somewhat surprised to see how cloudy the plastic on the old Hengst branded prefilter was. The filters must have been on there for quite some time.
