I can get in, change the air filter, and back out in about 10-15 minutes.
It is a "brute force" job. I went to an Audi mechanic for advice, after
slaving over the job and thinking that something was going to break. He
said there's no secret, just go slow and take the time to ensure that the
filter is properly seated because it's difficult to check the filter
position while holding the top which is under downward pressure. If you
need further instructions email me.
