To Dusty:
ZERO Googles for \"filtre à air\" + interchauffable
98 Googles for \"filtre à air\" + interchangeable, of which 29 with \"cartouche interchangeable\"
ZERO Googles for interchauffable alone, even!

Even if the intake were to be preheated, I don\'t think a \"filtre à cartouche interchauffable\" would be the equivalent of a \"filtre à bain d\'huile\".

neutral Tony M : Are you sure Alex? I agree it sounds likely, but just as turbos have 'intercoolers', don't air intakes sometimes have 'pre-heaters'?

Not sure, but isn't this the same doc. as the one with the angle doseur?
agree Jean-Luc Dumont : strangely enough "interchauffable" is the default search option for interchauffable in Google - why would one want to be able to heat up/preheat or interheat :-) a filter cartridge in a car engine.
