K&N High-Flow Original Lifetime Engine Air Filter: Washable, 33-2955

2014 Ford Fiesta SE 1.6, 5 speed. Easy install, half the thickness then the stock paper one. It's already oiled so just drop in. You have to reset your ECU to get any difference from this filter. More air flow needs to be 'learnt' by the computer. Just remove both cables from your battery while you do the filter install, hook up up the battery, start and allow to idle for a couple of minutes, or until the engine speed settles at idle. Quicker pickup, removed a low end splutter on fast take off. Worth the money, without the fact it lasts forever. I haven't measured my milage, so I'll see. Long time K&N filters on motorcycles and never had problems, just clean, oil and drop back in. Always noticed improved performance.

I first purchased a K&N air filter for a 2002 MINI Cooper that I owned, and loved the results. Now, with a Ford Fiesta, I decided to try the 33-2955 model. Although I have not conducted scientific tests, the car seems to have slightly better pickup (particularly in the 2,500 to 3,000 rpm range), and is getting slightly better gas mileage. One of the side effects of K&N filters and their slightly more-difficult-to-install air intake systems is that you tend to hear a bit more engine noise. And, in the Fiesta, which is very quiet as small hatchbacks go, it makes the car sound sportier. I've spoken with many people who use K&N filters in their daily drivers and collector cars, and this really is a product that lives up to its claims. The only downside is that, when you do clean and re-oil the filter, it can get a little messy. The benefits clearly outweigh this slight inconvenience, though.

Order arrived within a few days of ordering. 2018 Fiesta SE hatchback1.6L: If you can install your license plate, then you can install this air filter. There are 4 screws (hex bolt/allen wrench, not flat head nor Philips head). The air filter box is located on the driver's side between the battery and front bumper. Having read other reviews for this product, I'm considering an ECU reset.

I purchased this for my 2014 Ford Fiesta SE. I used a 15 torx bit to loosen the 4 screws holding the housing down. There was a fair amount of oil on the gasket. I wiped this off before installing. It took me 8 minutes to install from when I went into the garage till I came back in the house. The reason I know is my wife had a timer going for dinner. I think I noticed a slight throttle response improvement after installing. I have used a K&N on my 2008 Ford Fiesta for 150,000+ miles I had zero issues. I cleaned the filter once or twice during that time. Cleaning is easy. Spray with K&N 99-0621 Air Filter Cleaner and Degreaser (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029WYDU) and rinse with water. Then leave it to dry. I waited 24 hours. Then put K&N 99-0533 Air Filter Oil (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029WYD0) on each ridge and allow a little time for it to soak in. Make sure the oil soaked the whole filter then place it back in the car.

I have always been a fan of K&N filters, both air and oil. So when I bought a new car, I replaced the original air filter after 10,000 miles with this K&N one. Cleaning is easy with K&N cleaner and the oil recharging is easy once you get the hang of it. Just go slowly at the beginning, better to add too little at first than too much. I clean every 10,000 miles. Some say that's too much, but whatever, I like to do it. Gas mileage has always been higher than the car manufacturer claims, with plenty of engine power. And no throwing away old filters.

When I first received this item I was worried it wasn't going to fit properly. Once the air filter lid was off, it was easy to see it was going to fit perfectly. I'm very excited that this product is reusable and I won't have to purchase another as long as this one is taken care of properly! My 2013 Ford Fiesta had been acting a little funny when it came to slowing down and then suddenly accelerating prior to installing this air filter. Once it was in, I have noticed a huge change in the way it performs! I recommend K & N to anyone and everyone! The extra amount of money will pay off!

I bought this. So far I used it today and it seems like my mpg dropped a pretty good bit. How much? Well ill calculate that when i get to the pump and fill her up and ill post it. I also got a ecometer which was really worth the money. I think the only thing good is you can reuse the filter and clean it. Other then that, i cant think of anything else. Sounds pretty close to the stock filter unless you sit there in your driveway like an idiot reving your engine, then it sounds a bit better. But is that really worth the $45? Well, i cant decide everything for you. I might return mine in all honesty and by the stock filter. I think its better when it comes to MPG and the sound is not much off unless you rev it at a stop light but when your on the freeway and get on the pedal while already in motion, it sounds exactly the same and even feels the same. Its really up to you the consumer. Hope this helps you, I dont want to be to negative, just an honest review. Update, I was wrong about the gas mileage. I calulated it at the pump. I drive 137miles, 3.1Gallons to fill-up. So divide that and you get 44.1MPG. I also bought the ecometer if anyones thinking about it. Worth the investment.

I have been using K&N Air Filters for better than a decade now. On this particular application, I noticed that the thickness of the filter was reduced dramatically. The OE was near 2 inches in depth compared to the K&N less than 1 inch. I was not expecting (but hoping for) improved performance or fuel economy. What I have noticed is that there is now little to no throttle lag when I apply the accelerator. This is true for both starting from a stop, or reapplying the accelerator after turning a corner. I contribute this to the reduced amount of filter media the air needs to pass through. Another point of consideration is that an OE style filter for this application is a bit expensive (approx. $20). This filter will pay for it self within 30,000 miles (if you normally replace a filter around every 15,000 miles). Also it is an easy install. I have my 6 and 3 year old sons do most of the work. I love teaching them automotive and handy work at such a young age!

En cuanto a desempeño, después de 5000 km, se aprecia una ganancia en el consumo de combustible de 1.5 km/l, siempre tomando en cuenta recorridos de carretera a una velocidad constante. En condiciones de ciudad, difícilmente veras una ganancia, más allá del ahorro qué puede representar la vida útil del filtro.

Exactly what it describes. Works great.

I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the seller, Color Papers, for making high-performance products like the K&N air filter easily accessible in India. Initially, there was some confusion regarding fitment and order tracking, but a sales executive from Color Papers personally reached out over a phone call to clarify everything promptly. For prospective buyers: the product is a perfect fit for the Ford Figo 2019 Titanium Diesel (1.5L TDCi). Note that the product image shown on the Amazon listing page displays the filter for the older model generation, which caused the initial confusion, but the item received fits perfectly. Build: Top-notch filtration quality, as expected from K&N. It came complete with the official K&N product registration pamphlet. Performance: Installed this in my ECU-tuned Figo Diesel, and there is a noticeable and considerable improvement in throttle response and overall engine breathability. Practicality: Given our dusty Indian road conditions, the long lifespan and washable nature of this filter make it a highly practical, long-term investment that saves you from frequent disposable filter replacements. Kudos to the seller for proactive customer communication and genuine product αναΐlαbility!

Fitted to a 1.4 tdci 2011 fiesta. The filter fitted fine but it took a fair bit of research to confirm that it would. In the end I found the Ford part number and then used the cross reference chart on the K&N website. I did not buy this for any performance improvements but for the ease of maintenance and cost savings. Even OEM filters for the car cost around 16 pounds so after just 2 replacements you break even on the cost of this filter. Also the filters are of much better quality and unlikely to fail like the cheaper paper ones. I always fit K&N filters to my bikes and cars for these reasons and have always been happy with them. As to improved fuel consumption and performance these may well improve a bit but only if the original filter wasn't flowing as much air as the car needed. I have noticed a small difference over the OEM filter but very little over the original that was fitted. But this is on a 68hp diesel bought for economy, not performance. So this filter can perk your car up if the original filter was bad or dirty, but its better to think of the main benefits being better quality, longer life and less frequent maintenance. Then any performance improvements are a bonus.

Para mi vehiculo una verdadera gozada llevarlo puesto, se nota mucho la ajilidad de entrada del aire al tener pocos ccv, mejorando un poco su rendimiento y escuchando el turbo con mayor silvido,,, deberia estar para toodooos los vehiculos fel mercado y dejarse de los filtros prehistorucos de papel, vale ya tanto papel
