Was changing the air filter on my 24v, I noticed where the breather pipe is connected to the air filter box there is (or is supposed to be) a small foam filter? behind a plastic clip on the inside of the box.
Couldnt see any reference to it on the site (might be worth a mention if its not?) and mine was blocked solid with the remains of the filter and oily/gritty gunge.
Dunno what, if any effect this would have been having but might be worth checking next time you have that filter out..

on my 2.0 the foam filter also was as good as gone...
It was stiff from hardend oil/oilsteam, and did not filtrate anything...
(i saw this before i changed airfilter and breatherpipfilter to coned K&N filters...)
Edit..
breather pipe filter is now the white coned filter....
Edit no2...
The K&N mod made it through the MOT...
And i think its just as easy to cutt foam from an old madrass ore something, just change the filter whith an homemade one... Atleas mine was far beond rescuing...

Hi Guys,
likewise, mine was dripping in rotten oil. A knowledgeable member said it might make the MAF soot up quicker if left in a rotten state.
I soaked mine in white spirit (though I suppose parrafin would also do) - took about 3 changes - in order to get it clean. Left it to dry overnight then refitted. This was about 3 months ago and haven't checked it since.
