Audi A3 Air Filter Box

The Audi A3 Air Filter Box is applied as the initial barrier for the engine as it seals off the dirt-filled airflow and only allows clean air to pass through the motor. The Air Filter Box is placed strategically in front of the intake manifold inside each Audi in the A3 line, with a pleated element made to ensure that each of the ten thousand gallons of air sucked per gallon of fuel has to pass through its fibres before it can grind the pistons or plug the engine oil. The box also keeps the abrasives out of the crankcase, thus preventing the overloading of the oil filter, forcing it to push its bypass valve open and allow the lubricant contaminants to pass through and destroy bearings. Over the generations of the small Audi hatch and sedan, the Air Filter Box has maintained the same basic structure with a clamshell or top lid design with clips or screws to allow the filter itself to be changed quickly, and minor changes in internal channels to enhance smooth airflow and reduce noise. The factory housing has not been substituted by any other design such as remote cones or an open screen since the sealed Air Filter Box balances the filtration efficiency, intake temperature, and underhood packaging, which fits Audi engines. The daily Audi driver is thus guaranteed stable work, easy servicing, and extended lifetime of the engine courtesy of this rather silent yet vital constituent.
