Hi,

I have a K&N Panel Filter coming and was wondering when I fit it should I then drill my Airbox??

But will this void my warranty??

My car insn't even a year old so don't want to loose my warranty.

Is it true that I can get my car serviced and a non vaux garage as long as they meet certain ISO's??

buy an induction kit or some sort, when/if it goes in for warrenty, but the standard box back on.

and yes now, if you get your car serviced fully qualified mechanics, using all genuine parts - your warrenty will still remain.

The only way they would tell if it was drilled is if they removed it. I can see no reason why they would do this.

You can drill them anywhere you want.....

but thats the right place to drill them

Seriously though - I agree with CorSRi_BT but its better to be safe than sorry.

....

So what makes a fully qualified mechanic?? also you say genuine parts surely for a first service where they only change the oil and oil filter and possibly some other small things that would not be a problem.

A new bottom half of an air box from Vauxhall themselves still wouldn't be expensive. Just go and buy one for backup

when my previous corsa was checked over by insurance after crash they didnt seem to mind the perforated airbox

My mates seicento went into garage for a service and came back out with the drilled box still on and the seicento airbox is huge right ontop of the block!! i cudnt believe it lol
