I think that's what the jenuwine article looks like. Either that or it's for dusty climates. Mine had one like that when I got it.

i went to a parts place and they had 2 filters listed for the 406 when i loked at them the black sponge thing was the only diffrence.i didnt buy the one with the sponge as i thought it might restrict the air to much.

Leave it there, it does no harm

If your that bothered by airflow do what I did...

Although you probably need to cover more of the filter.

im wondering if that is for the HDi then and not the XUD

Post by **Bailes1992** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 9:10 pm

I had one just liek that in my 406! It's fine. Just stick it in and stop moaning

The black sponge one is for the HDi, but it doesn't really matter, you can use either.

ok cheers, will it be ok on XUD then, wont restrict air flow will it ?

hope the fuel and oil filter they sent me isnt for the HDi as well

No, won't restrict airflow, the better quality ones have a felt covering.
The oil filter will be fine, but the fuel filter for the XUD should have a "top hat" on it, the HDi 90 has a straight through, small diameter hole in both ends, the 110 has a large hole in one end and another in the other end with a rubber seal at one end.
