The reply I got from Quadratec says its discontinued !!!! anyway am waiting for confirmation from them, and if they confirm the non-availability, I would recommend to get it from the local market at slightly higher price. (not sure how much)

Thank you Khaiwi, thank you JC !

I just wonder that they discontinue the cleaning set, but keep on selling their intake systems saying that you have to use their products on this only, like the other companies do as well. I just do not believe this and wonder, why you cannot use one of the other brands, or are the filters they use all so very different ?


If so can we just order this one?

Guess it's all about the best protection for your filter. Both the K&N and Airaid kit include a 'non detergent degreaser' for cleaning and a 'oil' for defense against dirt. The instructions for cleaning on both products and cleaner kits are the same... However. using wrong products can damage the filter! And on the K&N website they seem pretty serious about using only K&N products...

Seems like it's worth picking up specific K&N cleaner to protect your investment :D

Hope that helps :D

Thank you Heinz, and this is exactly why I raised the question. How can you discontinue a product that you say is the one & only product allowed on your intake filters. This does not make any sense at all :? :lol:

On the Quadratc site they offer two different K&N kits... Perhaps they decided to discontinue one product, but are still selling the other one...?!? Might be worth a check :wink:

Quadratec doesn't send the K&N recharge kit. It's not allowed to be on flights as it is liquid

Thank you Chief, got the SMS. My mobile is always around on the website, but not as often as the one of our Chairman :lol: I did the transfer from NBAD to your HSBC account, hope that it works as sometimes ..., you know. If it does not work out I can give you the money cash tomorrow evening, no problem.

Thank you

Mike
