Thanks for the answer about the foam. I did change the air filter according to your video. I would do 1 ammendment. DO NOT remove those clips around the tube, unscrew the clamp instead, it's extremely hard to put them back on. In MANN air filter in instruction they unscrew clamp, I went your way and it was hell. YES, I suck as a mechanic :D.

Just did this job on my S4. For the life of me, I could not get the intake tube onto the o-ring using this method! Pro tip: undo the worm clamp to separate the coupler that takes the 2 spring clips. Then, press and clip that onto the filter lid/assembly BEFORE you screw the filter lid onto the housing. Infinitely easier that way. Appreciate the videos nonetheless!

And I thought my engine bay was dirty! Damn! That poor SQ5 needs some TLC.

Just did my S4 and did not use the o ring as could net get the clips to close. The dealer has twice commented in the last few months that the air a moderately dirty and failed to change the filter. A K&n which I am throwing out. Can't believe Audi mechanics go to trouble of checking with every service but fail to change it and last one was for a broken radiatior hit by a metal piece. Using proper stock filters from now on. Used some flat head screws I had to join the filter as it had none.

My 2018 Q5 does not come with those clips to remove the front cover behind the grill. I wonder how do you remove the cover? I wanted to clean the snow screen.

[@shakke52]

I hope this is the same for the Q7 3.0 TFSI!

(speaking of the snow screen)

i have 2015 audi q5 3.0T supercharged V6. i bought a genuine audi air filter & it did not come with a new o-ring in the box just the filter. I didn’t change the filter yet because i need confirmation, do i put the old o-ring on the new filter?

[@rr6966]

This is not 100% applicable to 2018 and up sq5 (the interior and attachment on the 2018 is different) - should change the title of the video to reflect that

[@ryanh3285]

My old filter has a cover over the air filter vut the new one hasn't come with one. Seems you'res doesn't have 1 either so maybe it's bot that important.

[@8359s]

I had filter with foam around it and the new one came without. Is it ok?

[@1AAuto]

+Robert Kilar It does not appear the foam is necessary for installation.

This is the same procedure for the 2014-2016 Audi Q5 TDI air filter and snow screen.

[@pandaonwheels6754]

This is way more complicated than my Toyota. 😂 Still happy with my new Q5, but my goodness, why do the Germans have to make things so difficult. Take notes from the Japanese please.
