specifications and dimensions as the origi

listed on the battery housing.
When installing the battery, make sure the
ignition and all electrical consumers are

Because of the problem of
recommend that you have your au

sulfuric acid and lead and must al

Air cleaner
A dirty air cleaner element not only reduces
the engine output and increases fuel con
sumption considerably but can also cause
premature engine wear.
Normally, it is not necessary to service the
air cleaner more often than recommended
in the Maintenance booklet. If the vehicle is
driven on very dusty roads, the air cleaner
must be serviced more frequently, even dai
ly.
If your air cleaner element must be
changed mora frequently, we rec
ommend that you have the air clean
er serviced by your authorized Audi
Dealer or a qualified workshop.
The air cleaner element must never
be cleaned or soaked with gasoline,
cleaning solvents or oil.
