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

Thu Mar 23 19:39:27 EST 2006

Hi Tony;

The filter is available from the dealer as well. It fits into the top of the
AC evaporator box. You have to remove the plastic plenum cover and the steel
cover at the base of the windshield to access it. There is a plastic cover
in the top of the evap box that pulls out and the filter slides in.

other then, to take up space in my garage.  Here is one place to
source them http://www.germanautoparts.com/Audi/S6/Climate/36/1
  or via ECS Tuning:
