And I already found a place to buy here in Israel - pitstop.co.il. We negotiated the lowest price 360 NIS for filter and 90 NIS for care kit (instead of 400 and 120). From eBay you can get the same for about 300 and 100, so 450 NIS is a good price here. But, after some research I found this article Can a better air filter improve fuel economy? We'll find out... with all comments there and I start to doubt. It's very simple, less resistance means bigger holes and more dust come to engine. May be other engines are good with that, but 1.2 TSI should be so sensitive and I decided to wait with purchase.
Original 6R0 129 620 A - air filter costs 185 NIS in Skoda's garage, I can bring same for about 100 NIS. It should be replaced every 60K km or 4 years. I went to check condition of mine that went through 16K already. And it looks fine, I think I will change it around 30K.
