I had it on my car also and I have seen it on others I agree it can not be good or right sure it is the dealers doing it to cut costs or something my one was clogged beyond believe also I was actually very shocked as I had never seen it before and apparently the dealers said it was fine for another year haha

Hi, yes this is correct! Every J I've owned has the white foam on the paper filters. Looks like your's could do with changing mind.

I've taken the seat foam off and the airfilter is nice and clean underneath ..... I won't be using a filter with the foam on again , I'm actually looking at making an induction kit as no one makes one for the 2.0 cdti as far as I can see
Cheers james

Anyone use a k&n or similar flat airfilter and is there a noticeable noise difference as I can't see performance being affected tbh

I have a pipercross foam panel filter. Slightly more induction noise, hardly noticeable. Don't feel significant gain but surely with the tune it helps to breath better and you can clean it and reuse it

As others have said mine also had that material on the bottom. I managed to get a k and n from Amazon for £15 warehouse deals. Worth checking every now and then if your not desperate to replace.
