How I replaced the engine air filter in the Audi A3

Replacement was probably not due till 85,000 kilometres

But I love an engine that breathes well ☺

All you need is the original part, a Phillips screwdriver, and a little patience

Gently loosen the 8 screws but do not remove them (shown below)

Gently tilt and lift the cover

And slide out the old filter

Clean the box where the old filter was removed from

Comparing the old and the new filters

When replacing the filter, the gasket of the filter should be seated firmly all around (please see below)

Then cover and tighten the screws gently
