Jaws

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!

Just done a long road trip (3000mi) with a Thule Atlantis box on top. There's not much you can really do about the noise but to be honest it really wasn't intrusive. Even on the Autobahns up to 150km/h it was bearable. Just turn the music up slightly. Other half and baby didn't complain anyway!
