K&N Filter bad results against Audi OEM Filter!

Easy.

Unplug MAF.
Undo Jubilee on the Turbo intake pipe on the MAF
Remove two philips screws on the bulk head side of airbox lid

and its free to come off.

Hmmm... think I should revert back to the OEM then! Was unsure whether the K&N had made any difference, but stuck with it anyway.

How much is a standard part then? £10?

With the air filter potentially buggering things up, it's just another to the list of things wrong with my stinker of an A3...

- Constant faulty brake lights
- Numerous rattles & squeaks
- Slack fan belt
- Small hole in exhaust joint
- Drivers seat won't latch down
- Poor MPG at the moment (could this be to do with the air filter?)

Not what you need when you're moving into your first flat! Think she needs a week in a health spa to detox!

My MPG has improved loads since I removed the filter and went back to OEM.

I would do it as soon as possible.

The one thing I have noticed the most is that the car is so much stronger to pull away in high gears and so much smoother [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Harj Air filter change.

Audi Paper filters cost less than £10 iirc.

Paul,

I have been looking at putting an S3 section on our audiretrofit site.

Do you mind if I take the information from your post and turn it into an install doc?

Thanks,
