Audi Q2L air filter replacement cycle is 30,000 kilometers. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. The replacement cycle of Audi Q2L air filter can be adjusted according to the actual driving conditions: the air filter can be checked and cleaned every 15,000 kilometers to make the filter work better. 2. The location of Audi Q2L air filter: The air filter of Audi Q2L is located in front of the engine cover, connected to the prominent large intake pipe. 3. The cleaning method of Audi Q2L air filter: Use an air gun or a household hair dryer to operate, blow from the outside to the inside of the filter, then from the inside to the outside, and then wipe off the dust on the surface. Note that the air filter cannot be washed with water.
I've been driving this Q2L for two years and always change the cabin air filter myself. The owner's manual recommends replacement every year or 15,000 km, but reality depends on conditions. Last week's inspection shocked me - just three months after Shanghai's poplar fluff season, the filter was clogged like cotton candy. If you drive daily with recirculation off at construction sites, the filter's lifespan gets halved. Remember the mechanic said last service that musty smell comes from here, with bacterial counts exceeding limits by over ten times - made my elderly parents cough in the car. Now I stock up on activated carbon filters online, and changing them is easy, just unclip the fasteners behind the glove box on the passenger side.
