air filter question
I had a K+N in my slk, I had to replace the air flow meter. Should I replace the filter also, to the factory kind? Did the K+N cause my problem with the air flow due to oil in the filter?

I believe that any cotton filter of quality can be made to work without fouling the maf... BUT, I also believe that the filter has to be almost dry to achieve this... and then, they do not filter dust very well...
I'd stay stock... many dealers will refuse warranty paying for it if you have an oiled filter... I also have an Audi, and Audi owners have had the same experience. Get a better flowing intake system... where I don't know, but a larger, better designed airbox with a larger filter would be the right way to go.. probably no space but... Greg |

As others and you have seen, K&N filters and MAF do not go well together.
Get back to an OE filter JackD |

Don't worry Snglbrd.
You will not loose a single horse by swithcing to the proper air filter as you have not gained a single quarter horse when you switched to that lesser filter. All you gained was a bit of intake noise, and you lost quite a bit of money in the process. JackD |
