Title: Is this a good price ? ( air filters )
Post by: John B on March 12, 2017, 10:51:55

Coming close to the 36 month service and I know I require a air intake filter and a pollen filter for my I30 GD 2014 petrol. Have been getting my genuine oil filters from eBay at a good price and from the same place they have a Genuine Hy air filter for $28 and a pollen filter for $43. They also have a i30 turbo pollen filter for $37 which I believe is the same as the Gd petrol, perhaps you can enlighten me on that..  Do you guys think these are good prices ?

John, I bought one of the wesfil pollen filters, they're just as good as the others :link: Wesfil Cabin Air Pollen Filter WACF0158 fits Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi (GD) | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Wesfil-Cabin-Air-Pollen-Filter-WACF0158-fits-Hyundai-i30-1-6-CRDi-GD-/162088858131?fits=Make%3AHyundai%7CModel%3Ai30&hash=item25bd3fb213:g:6OgAAOSwOgdYv57-)

All GD's use the same size pollen filter :goodjob2:

Thanks Craig, I guess not having a genuine pollen filter is not going to cause any warranty problems and the engine air filter seemed cheap enough. Cheeky buggers at the last HY dealers i used to use charged $40 for fitting the pollen filter. :'(

Filters are all the same material, just a different colour so wont affect warranty, the air filter is a reasonable price :goodjob2:

My last service Hyundai tried to hit me up $80 for a new filter, you can guess what I told them to do with that :D

It's fine, listed as not compatible with mine as well even though they all use the same filter.
