Hi... My daughter is running an older P reg 300TDI that seems to be sucking holes in the air filter. Has anyone come across this or have advice on what to look at?

Click to expand...

1. Cheap air filters;

2. Air filter paper getting wet and falling apart;

3. Improper installation

4. The air inlet in the airbox is blocked.

5. Very old air filter?

Can't think of any others to be honest.

Have you just noticed it? or has it done it more than once, if you opened it and discovered a hole in the filter then it's just bloody filthy and needs burnt and replaced with a new one!
