    Question air filter issue

    a month a go i had to change my OEM air filter because it was totally blocked, and now i did about 4000 km in the car and i had to take the car to the dealer for an EPC issue and they told me that my filter is blocked already :S ... that was fast ! don't you think .. how would this amount of dust go to the filter in such a short time ( i'm not an expert thats why i'm wondering )

    Haven't heard of this issue. Is it possibly due to your location? Are you prone to getting more debris? Dust / Sand?
