Pollen filter
 

Hello.

I have a UK 1995 P reg Audi 2.6 A6 (old shape) and wondered if it had a
pollen filter. If so :-

1.) How easy is it to check/replace ?

2.) How often should it be replaced ?

side if your looking from the front, my 2.6 is easy to replace, infact im

On left hand drive; right.
You should change it as much as your air filter which is, in not to dusty
environment, once a year.

What of the US Audi A6 (circa 2001) 2.7T Quattro?
My wife suffers poorly with allergy problems, and I just purchased the Audi
recently and I would like to change it myself.

Thanks,

It definitely has a pollen filter. Check under the hood, near the
windshield, passenger side. If you go in for the standard free
maintenance, dealer is supposed to be replacing it every 20K miles, but
in practice it needs to be changed more often than that - once a year at
least.

Cheers,
