Sakura A-31070 Air Filter for Skoda Laura & Octavia Diesel (1.9L/2.0L TDI) | Premium Soft PU Frame | Replaces 1K0129620D & 1K0129620F

Restore the punchy torque and fuel efficiency of your European sedan with the Sakura A-31070 Air Filter, designed for the Skoda Laura (Octavia MK2). Diesel engines from the Volkswagen Group (VAG) are highly sensitive to air intake quality. This filter acts as a high-density barrier, protecting your turbocharger and high-pressure fuel injectors from abrasive silica, road soot, and industrial pollutants common in heavy traffic.

The A-31070 features a specialized Soft PU (Polyurethane) Frame. Unlike lower-grade filters with rigid plastic or rubber seals, the Soft PU frame acts as a high-compression gasket. It creates a vacuum-tight seal within the Skoda airbox, absorbing engine vibrations and maintaining its airtight integrity even under high boost pressures. This prevents “dirty air bypass,” ensuring the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor stays clean and accurate for optimal combustion.
