Changing the cabin filter on my 2002 A6 is much easier. It is behind the firewall, right next to the battery on the passenger side.

You're right about that. It doesn't even require tools. You just remove the rubber stripping that secures the cover over the rear cowling, remove the cover and you can swap out the cabin filter. While you're there, you can check the low side air conditioning psi if you have the gauge. Total, it's about a five minute job.

The spring anchors at a small hole next to the hole were the vacuum actuator is mounted. The plastic had cracked at this anchor hole and would no longer hold the spring. I fabricated from thin soft copper sheet a bracket that has a hole for the actuator and a hole for the spring. I used aluminum foil to get an impression of the actuator and spring holes and the surounding plastic.
There were a lot of leaves in the bottom of the air box, but I didn't see an air filter.
Do you know what that spring looks like ??
Like roughly how long and diameter ?
Or a Part Number ?
Thanks Greg
