-   Listed for 18 D series engine applications

## 🔌 Function

Filters the air entering the engine, holding back the dust and salt that would otherwise pass through the turbocharger and score the bores and rings.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Power down and black smoke under load as the element blocks
-   Element visibly loaded, oil-soaked or wet through
-   Turbocharger whistle or a change in intake note as the restriction rises
-   Housing cracked, distorted or the lid not sealing, letting unfiltered air past
-   Dust streaks on the clean side of the element or in the inlet ducting, which means the seal has been bypassed

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check for dust tracks on the clean side of the housing before fitting - unfiltered air reaching the turbo will already have done damage
-   Confirm the fitment list before ordering; 23421381 is the similar cleaner covering roughly twice the engines
-   Never wash or beat out a paper element and refit it
