Changing the fob battery is your first port of call. Also if you have a spare key see if it does the same thing. If it doesn't then it could be a key issue.

Many thanks, Will let you know how I get on. Regards Raymond

I've pulled the filter from every car I've had to check, regardless of what the service history says. Finding a housing full of debris like that has not been unusual sadly. Great share on the "how to" 😀

Replaced mine this week after its Audi service. Surprise, surprise another thing not included in their 'service plan'. Anyway, they quoted £48 to supply and fit but I bought the filter myself from ECP for £25 and spent 10 mins to fit. I have very little mechanical knowledge and it's quite easy. Unclip Maf Loosen the pipes from holders on airbox Undo Torx Screws Remove filter Filter twists off, although after 5 mins of fighting thinking it was stuck there's a small tab which you need to press to release it. Hoover out airbox Replace via reverse. Pics of mine, not sure if ever replaced and the car was on 76k so well overdue by the look of it!
