Whats the difference between the metal and plastic type?I accidently bought the plastic type as thats what my old car had, will it fit where the metal type did or should I buy a new metal one?

I've never seen the plastic type for our cars... I would personally go and buy the metal one as it's the correct one.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Right found out the reason. They don't make the metal type anymore as a few started to rust when left on for a few years. So now all they sell is plastic type push clip ones. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

Meh I dunno. Just what Peugeot said...Do you know why they have two types? Aslong as it fits I'm not too bothered as the Low boost china had two plastic ones throughout my ownership.

Corrode I presume they meant Yeah sorry don't know anything about different types of metal and how they rust/corrode.

I don't really think it matters.If the part numbers are the same and Peugeot are selling you the part, I wouldn't care. I got a Bosch FF from ECP and it's fine. ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

That's the main reason I always used to take my '6' off the road in October and not put it back on the road until March after we'd had a good downpour to clean the roads. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Cost? I think Mann manufacter metal filters and Purflux plastic. Both O.E suppliers, both parts do the same thing, just made differently. I guess whatever is cheaper on the day of order is what is supplied. ________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |
