This filter is engineered with advanced filtration technology that captures fine dust particles, pollen, and other contaminants while maintaining optimal airflow for efficient engine operation.

Key Features

• Superior Filtration Efficiency: The VAICO 4267 employs a multi‑layer media system that removes up to 99.9% of airborne particles, ensuring the engine receives clean air and reducing wear on critical components.
• Optimized Airflow: Designed with precise geometrical shaping, this filter allows maximum airflow at low resistance, improving throttle response and fuel economy.
• Durable Construction: The filter housing is made from high‑quality polypropylene that resists deformation under pressure and temperature variations typical in engine compartments.
• Easy Installation: The standard size (49 mm) fits a wide range of models such as the Audi A1, Seat Ibiza, Skoda Fabia, and VW Polo. The filter is pre‑sealed with an anti‑leak gasket for a secure fit.
• Long Service Life: With proper maintenance, the VAICO 4267 can last up to 30,000 km in normal driving conditions, providing reliable protection over extended periods.

Compatibility Overview

The VAICO 4267 is compatible with a broad spectrum of vehicles. Below is an organized list of models and engine types that can use this filter:

For each model, the filter is available in the standard 49 mm size and is specifically engineered to match the engine bay dimensions of the vehicle’s air intake system.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool. Open the hood and locate the existing air filter housing.
2. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew or unclip the housing cover, carefully lift out the old filter, and discard it responsibly.
3. Inspect Housing: Clean any debris from the filter slot with a dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents.
4. Insert VAICO 4267: Align the new filter’s gasket with the housing opening, then slide it in until fully seated.
5. Secure Housing: Replace and tighten the cover according to manufacturer torque specifications (typically 5–6 Nm).
6. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and observe for any air leaks around the filter housing. Tighten further if necessary.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter every 10,000 km or after driving in dusty conditions.
• Replace the filter when it shows visible dirt accumulation or when airflow resistance increases noticeably.
• Avoid using compressed air to clean the filter; this can damage the media layers.
• Store unused filters in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
