Audi A3 air filter removal method: Loosen the nuts on the air filter cover to remove the outer cover, then remove the nuts securing the air filter element, and finally take out the filter element. The Audi A3 is a sedan product produced by Audi, developed based on the Volkswagen MQB platform, featuring lightweight design and aluminum materials in its body construction. In terms of power, the Audi A3 is equipped with multiple engines including the 1.4TFSI and 1.8TFSI. Regarding body dimensions, the Audi A3 measures 4292mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1423mm in height. The front suspension of the Audi A3 is a MacPherson strut type, while the rear axle features a torsion and crank-type structure with separately arranged springs and shock absorbers, offering not only excellent handling but also high space utilization in the rear suspension layout.
I've taken apart the air filter of my Audi A3 a few times before, and I found it quite easy. First, open the engine hood and locate the square box on the side of the engine, which contains the air filter. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws on the box cover, being careful not to lose them. Then gently lift the cover to remove the dirty filter. I've seen a lot of dust and leaves stuck inside, no wonder the car was struggling to breathe. When installing the new filter, make sure it's oriented correctly and not upside down. Press it firmly into place and then screw the cover back on. The whole process takes about ten minutes, but I recommend checking it every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers to keep the engine quieter, more fuel-efficient, and prolong its lifespan.
