Review on Mann Filter 35 154 Air Filter by Will Ridpath

This was a direct replacement for my 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited. Consider: Mann filter C 35 154/1. The OEM filter didn't have the white pre-filter from the 154/1, but I chose it because I live in the Midwest; I assume that the alternative model would also fit without any problems. Mann-Filter C 35 154/1 has a white pre-filter, which is essentially a layer of fabric covering the "bottom" of the air filter (opposite the orange outline). top"), which is said to help extend the life of the filter in snowy/wet weather as the elements are lifted under the car's chassis. It's only a matter of time before we check it out. The first photo that I have attached is the box for the new Mann filter I hastily put it in without taking a photo to compare the differences 2nd and 3rd photo are the old OEM filter it is except for the above model differences almost identical to the Mann filter.
