It's a wix. Got it form the local shop ( chain shop not a garage ). Have used the same brand for 10 years on various cars, no problems. Anyway got a Lexus/Toyota" genuin part now. I guess I should try to figure out what is wrong with the filter, or if I had managed to put it on wrong ( if that is even possible). But it does not itch that bad.

Regarding the noice. I find it handy to ask on the net. Often I get answers that will lead me in the right direction, but obviously you have to verify. We have salty on my local road during the winter so it could just as well have been a rusty part. ex: the cover on the back break disk has to be replaced as it is nothing but rust.

Thanks for all comments and advice.
