The BMC FB444/01 is a washable, reusable replacement panel air filter designed for select VW Group applications, including Audi A3, Q3, TT, Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, Touran, Scirocco, SEAT, and Skoda models.
Designed to replace the factory air filter on compatible applications where BMC FB444/01 is specified.
This BMC filter can be cleaned and re-oiled with the proper BMC cleaning kit instead of being discarded like a standard paper filter.
