Where is this filter located, my car kinda stinks... its a 2000 2.7 quattro... thx all

 

Should be right in front of the windshield on the passenger side. It sits in a little tray right under the plastic cover below the windshield wipers.

 

oh kinda near the battery .. cool. thanks... are they available to purchase say at like a pep boys or do i have to go to audi to get it?

 

You can pick them up from lot's of places... pep boys should have them.

 

Be prepared though. They are not cheap. Not like a regular filter. They last a long time though.

 

You can get this filter in two variations.......Charcoal or Particulate.

I ordered the charcoal filter from Advance Auto today. Particulate protection is great, but I'd rather spend a few more bucks to get the charcoal filter.

In truth, after looking at how dirty my cabin filter was today, ANYTHING is going to be an improvement. I took the time to blow my current filter clean w/ an air compressor today....just to get me by until the new filter arrives. I nearly gagged when I saw what I'd been breathing!!!

Go with the charcoal filter. It should help filter out bad smells as well as dust and such. It should be changed every 20k miles. You could also have mold buildup in your airbox. A product called frigifresh can be sparyed into the airbox where the filter is to kill the mold.

 

yah i cheked mine earlier today, and wow it was gross..... looks like it was hit with a dirt storm. Getting the new charcoal one tomorrow. thanks for the advice guys!
