took my airbox off to drill only to notice that vw have replaced my performance panel filter with a shitty normal one!!!!!
had 3 services since i got the car, filter fitted before the 1st service!
gonna go see them 2mro see what they say, invoice will surely say when i got my filter replaced on which service.

From a panel filter?. I doubt it gave you even a 2 BHP increase.
