Hey I am new to Audi family but with a great deal on a B7 a4 and CPO at that I could not resist **-

If your car is hard to start and you can not figure out why and has a rough or under performing idle and will not make boost like it should then check this out first. The air filter is sealed in a box to the left of the engine bay on the passengers side. There is a box that runs cool air from the front of the car to the air intake where there is a little filter that sets up in the upper air box. It was dirty and clogged like a mother and I cleaned and cleared it out **- looking for a part number for it cause I would not mind replacing it but I cleaned and cleaned it and no more hard starts and it seems to run a lot smoother. Just an FYI

Nope. I did this and I still get hard starts in the mornings.
