For your car, you want a MANN C35154 air filter - (link here)

Much better than any generic crap imho and about the same price.

Here's one on ebay as an example - SEAT ALHAMBRA/ALTEA/LEON/TOLEDO AIR FILTER - 1K0129620D - C35154 MANN/HUMMEL NEW | eBay

Wix filters are fine I change oil filter every 5k and all filters every 10k.

MANN has a more macho name.

Wix reminds me of 80s Eastenders.

We used to use Wix filters when I was an apprentice, back in the late sixties, never any problems with them. If the company are still going then they must be ok.
