Where is the air filter element of Audi A3 located?
1 Answers
The air filter element of FAW Audi A3 is located in the engine compartment, inside the air filter positioned above the engine and next to the battery. According to the maintenance manual, the air filter element should generally be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or during every other maintenance service. However, it is recommended to clean the air filter element every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the formation of throttle sludge. The function of the air filter element: It filters particulate impurities from the air, ensuring that sufficient clean air enters the cylinders, preventing floating dust in the air from being sucked into the engine, which can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinders. Air filter element: It is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air filter. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms as an air filter. During operation, the engine needs to inhale a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the suspended dust in the air will be sucked into the cylinders, accelerating the wear of the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, which is particularly serious in dry and sandy working environments. The air cleaner is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. Using an excessively dirty air filter in a car can cause insufficient engine air intake, leading to incomplete fuel combustion, resulting in unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, the air filter in a car must be kept clean. The car air cleaner is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or several air filter components. Its main function is to filter out harmful impurities from the air entering the cylinders to reduce early wear of the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Therefore, before air enters the cylinders, it must first pass through the fine filtration of the air cleaner. An excessively dirty air cleaner can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When inspecting the air cleaner, if it is found to have little dust and minor clogging, it can be cleaned by blowing high-pressure air from the inside out and continue to be used. An excessively dirty air cleaner should be replaced promptly.
