State of S5 air filter aft 8.5k

[JonChalk]

Look at the state of this, after 8.5k:





Hoovered it all out, took stupid foam sock off (I mean filter-for-a-filter!!) - will keep it safe & put back on before it goes for a service.

Air filter underneath looked pristine - guess I would have been charged for that come service time, so might as well use it properly.

Are you saying that the air filter hasn't done its job and let foliage through?

Where did I state, or even imply, such a thing?

Any idiot can see that clearly it has done it's job - that's the point.

Ah ok fair enough.

Thanks for letting us all know that the air filter on a very expensive car does what it’s designed to do.
