[s-cars] Dumb air cleaner question - no UrS content...

[Eric Phillips]

I have a 1990 Audi 80q winter beater.  200k+ miles, and still drives in snow
like a champ.  It's no UrS6, but what is, really?  :)

OK, so, I get under the hood, new air filter element in hand, and try to get
the air box open.  Wow.  Did they build the car around the airbox, or what?
Holy crap.  I can't even get to one of the clamps.

So, go into the house, and get out Bentley, and look to see what wisdom is
there.

Anyone wanna guess what wisdom could be found there?  :/

Since I'm sure I'll be doing this to my S6 soon enough, I figured I'd do an
easy job on a car that's not as critical about its air supply.  Easy, my
Aunt Fanny.  How in the heck is this accomplished???

OK, on a related note, I have a new fuel filter that was supposed to go in
during the FP install, but didn't make it.  Is there any way to bleed the
fuel pressure off before I open the lines to get this thing in?  BTW, this
is also on the 80q.

Thanks, and thanks for tolerating non-S, but still Audi-family content,

Eric
