Hi All
I'm currently at 12000kms
I just checked my air filter and found it was installed wrong either from factory or from the dealer.
So the formed rubber gasket that is around the outside edge of the filter was pushed in at the upper portion of the filter leaving a 1/2" gap basically bypassing the filter element
you can see the impression of the risen part of the housing in the corner of the filter element in the wrong spot.
Most of that 12k has been offroad in very dusty conditions.
I could visibly see the dirt buildup on the secondary filter element.
Now I'm pissed as I bought a brand new vehicle that has now probably ingested a fair amount of dirt.
What should I do - opinions?
Pretend it doesn't matter or?
I have notified the dealer and waiting for a response - our family has bought many cars off them since 1990 and this is the first bad experience I have had
