    heating intake filter

    I am sick of getting leaves entering the cabin on the coupe.
    Is there a mod toa cabin filter of some description.
    Uears ago a mate used a filter paper to fit on the intake of his rado. Has anyone tried anything similar..?

      Mine has a pollen filter left hand side under the plastic trim panel. Mine was still the original filter, it was in quite a state

        Yep, as above you need a pollen filter housing (and filter) to replace the wide gauge plastic mesh that bolts to the blower inlet.

          I retro fitted one to mine a while back for the same reason, stop all the crap getting in.
          They are NLA so you'll need to find one off a breaker. Make sure you also get the metal spring clip that holds it on, or it will never fit correctly

                        I bought mine from Audi not that expensive, well wasn't a few years ago. I have a brand new seal that goes under the filter housing in my garage that I never fitted.
                        Just some finishing touches to do now

                            The clip just holds the filter housing on properly - its loose without it. I would take a picture of mine but its packaged up in a box somewhere as my dash is out currently
