did you c my pix i posted on you other thread?

 

shouldnt be too tough is it a brand name K&N? does K&N make anything for a b5 too?

 

k&N makes b5 drop in. got 1 here. just unclipped, lifted case as much as i could and slid it in. never took all that stuff off.

 

yeah one of the heat shields is freaken tough to get at cause its a philips screw and its a tight space next to the freaken catalytic converter so when i went to put it back on i didnt tighten the screw all the way just in case the next time i had to take it off its easier.

 

I have a 2004 A4 and was acutally wondering the exact same thing. I was thinking about just asking the shop to do it on my next oil change because I don't want to screw anything up.

 

+1 how do you do this

 

DO NOT USE A K&N FILTER

They have a ton of oil on them from the factory to help filter the air. On most cars there's some distance between the filter and everything else. On our MAF sensors are built into the airbox. The excess oil builds up on the MAF sensor and causes bad readings.

If you're dead set on using one, wipe it off with a clean rag or some othe super absorbant cloth and let it dry out.

 

im dead set on using mine... it costed 45 bucks man wth....

im gona dab it with a micro fiber and let it try in the sun...

then put it in and then pray...
