Hi all, it's service time and I need to change oil, fuel & air filters. Any recommendations on brand, or where to buy? Am particularly interested in anything which will improve mpg! They are for 2000 2.5TD. Thanks

Thanks Wonkanoby. The spec for the K&N filter is for up to 1999 vehicles but mine is 2000. I spoke to K&N and this is the only one they do for a Bongo. Do you think it will be ok?

............so if they're ok for the later years the K&N ones will be too. I'll give them a try. Cheers

Hi geoff46,

The dimentions of the air filter was changed on the later models,the difference is,

outer diameter 1mm more

height 6mm shorter

inner diameter 1.5mm less


Not a lot

Cheers.
