MEYLE M0477 C+P about 8K miles/1 year

Horizontal mount so needs a working ADBV

Minuscule little filter but it would seem that since the engine is super clean inside it didn't matter anyway.

ADBV super hard and not pliable at all rather like PVC making me think I probably lost a psi or 2 in back-pressure there already

Pleats nice and uniform with no tears.............

Sure feels like a solid filter.

Replaced with a FRAM PH5911 equivalent..................

Had to replace another of these today - common here on smaller Renault, GM, and Nissan engines both petrol and diesel-powered.

The stupid production technique with those bent-over tabs is distorting the ADBV (see marks on ADBV) hence the filter being empty when removed.
