I was just looking at the air filter housing on my B8. I picked up a paper STP from Autozone. I see 6 screws holding the box together, and it looks like I will need to undo the hose clamp on the engine air hose...is that correct? It's always been 4-6 clips on my previous cars.

I like changing the cabin filters once a year. Some are doing it more often. It sometimes disturbing when you get those filters out and see what's living in there...
