Audi R8 Air Filter Replacement Method?
2 Answers
Audi R8 air filter replacement method involves first removing the glove compartment on the passenger side to locate the air filter. Open the air filter cover, then pull out the old air filter and replace it with a new one. Reattach the cover and reinstall the glove compartment. Below is an introduction to the Audi R8: 1. The new Audi R8 is equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The Audi R8 is a mid-engine, two-seater sports car with a top speed of 316 km/h. 2. It features four-wheel disc brakes, a 90L fuel tank, and a choice of a 7-speed Stronic dual-clutch or 6-speed manual transmission. The car has a width of 1900mm, length and height of 4430mm and 1250mm respectively, with a 2650mm long wheelbase. 3. The Audi R8's grille design uses black plastic strips instead of the original silver chrome trim. The headlights have been redesigned with horizontal L-shaped daytime running lights, and six recessed light sources form the redesigned turn signals, positioned above the headlights. At the rear, the taillights have been redesigned with a flat figure-eight design for enhanced aesthetics, replacing the previous oval exhaust pipes with round ones. Additional Information: When driving with the air conditioning on, the car draws in outside air into the cabin. However, the air contains various particles such as dust, pollen, soot, grinding particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. Without an air filter, these particles can enter the cabin, contaminating the car's air conditioning system, reducing cooling performance, and causing allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and odors that can affect driving safety.
As an Audi R8 owner, I've changed the cabin air filter myself several times. Typically, the filter is hidden behind the glove box. First, open the glove box and remove all contents. Some versions require removing screws on both sides with a screwdriver or pressing the clips to release. Then pull open the filter housing cover and carefully remove the old filter, paying close attention to the arrow direction marked on it—installing the new filter backwards will reduce airflow efficiency. When installing the new filter, align the arrow direction and ensure it's securely fastened before reassembling all components. Replacing it every 15,000 kilometers helps prevent odors and allergens in the cabin, and doing it yourself saves money with just a few dozen yuan. Always turn off the engine power before starting for safety. I prefer wearing gloves to avoid dust and potential respiratory irritation. Opt for an activated carbon filter for better adsorption performance. The whole process can be done in 15 minutes if you're quick, and doing it yourself is both fun and a great way to get familiar with your beloved car.
