Default Got clean air?

<center><img src="http://www.blacks4.com/Misc/cabinfilter.jpg"></center><p>I just replaced my interior cabin air filter (THANK GAWD!).

The new filter was bright white.

For &lt;$30, I highly recommend it. I turned the AC on and it seemed much fresher. I got mine on Ebay, but you can also get them from the dealer.

Isn't that part of regular Audi service interval?

Default I think it's done every 20K...

and that filter doesn't look like it has nearly 40K on it...it would look downright scary if it did.

Default an un named dealer never changed my air filter at ANY of the services - i changed it myself

and it was PITCH BLACK.

questionable as if they ever changed my oil too.i just had no way to prove it.

Default I've seen brand new ones from Audi which look grey from new....

I think they are partially made with a carbon based compound which is why the panel is uniformely gray....

Hope this helps!

Best,

Ram
