Clean the filter with mild soapy water and rinse the filter from inside out (so the water takes any remaining dirt particles with it).

Let the filter dry naturally - any heat source like a hair dryer, etc may soften the glue holding the foam together.

Reapply the retention spray.

Fit back to the car.

I got a piperX panel filter and I got a tin of 'retenation' spray... is that the cleaning stuff Ed? do I just rinse the panel with water and spray that on and let it dry or wot? :boggle:

You can buy the cleaning stuff from Halfords - I think you can probably use the K&N stuff too, but you'll have to check. You should clean it every time you do a service on the car, so about every 20,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

Cheers for that. When should you change the standard filter? It's just that I have had the BFO on for about 16,000 miles (maybe more) and I think maybe it needs cleaning. Where can I buy pipercross cleaning kit from?

You only need to clean it eveery service, when you would normally replace the filter element. You should use Pipercross filter cleaner - as it is a pipercross air filter anyhow.

Got a BFO cone and I have not cleaned it since I put it on. I did not get any cleaning stuff when I bought it.
Have any of you got this induction kit? If so how can I clean it?
