Took mine out and gave it a wash with some warm soapy water, ooh me hands are so soft now

Guess that'll save me £80 then

HA HA HA look what you have started bryce86 the detailers will be adding it to the things they clean next

Just 1 more thing dont over tighten the screw on top of the air box as they strip very easy and that carbon box is not cheap

The screws are so if unsure dont over tighten

Im always careful with little things like that, but I dropped a bolt that holds the pollen filter on cos my dad said 'look at this...'

Do you spray with a dust repelent...when Ihad an ITG there was a can included...

The ITG website says you should clean it with Petrol 1st, then warm soapy water before oiling it and replacing it.

Cleaning and oiling an ITG air filter

Seems like a load of hard work for an airfilter. Come up well though with warm soapy water though.

LMAO at hands being so soft,

I think it will have been a can of oil, final part of cleaning a reusable filter
