Audura filters any good?

[lornemalvo]

I can't see a car maintenance section in these forums so thought I'd post this here. I'm ordering service parts for my wife's Citigo and going back over the annual receipts brings home just how much prices have increased over the last few years (2-3 per cent inflation my arse).
ECP are stocking, and pushing in some very crafty ways, Audura filters. In fact, they're being sly enough to make me want to buy elsewhere and never use them again. However, does anyone know, are Audura filters any good? They're much cheaper than my usual preference, which is Mann filters, ( a third of the price), so I don't see how they can be as good quality.

I work for a major parts supplier (not euros), I've never come across them even at my time at Euros which admittedly was a good few years ago

My college who left euros recently says they were blocked for sale to garages but were pushed to retail customers, make of that what you will

Personally I've always used mann and always will

Thanks Danny, that does seem strange. I know Mann filters go back many years so trust the brand

I actually work for a division of ECP but not in a branch, Audura is ECP's own brand specifically for sale to retail customers.

I cant say anything about them really as its not my product area but i know the ecp own brand products that i deal with are produced by major manufacturers who we also supply in their own packaging.
