Pro 5R replacement with the correct engine and housing
The aFe 30-10118 replaces the original airbox filter in the specified applications with five layers of factory-pre-oiled cotton gauze. The current manufacturer names Audi A4 2002–2008, while the existing retailer table includes separately bounded 2009 A4 and Cabriolet rows. Exact ECS engine entries identify B6 A4 1.8T / V6 and B7 A4 2.0T / 3.2L housings. Those chassis details are more useful than a blanket 2002–2009 A4 badge: a 2009 Cabriolet carryover and a newer sedan or Avant must not be assumed to have the same original element. The existing 2009 portions remain an explicit body/generation/engine source hold rather than new certification for every B8 application. The same exact retailer engine table also lists B6/B7 S4 and B7 RS4 V8, but no exact year/trim table was established here, so no new S4/RS4 search rows or vehicle assignments are inferred. Do not extend fitment from a cross-reference alone or borrow another Audi filter’s dimensions or flow percentage.
Key Features
- Five layers of progressively finer oiled cotton gauze.
- Washable and reusable oiled cotton media. Use aFe POWER CLEANER and the specified blue air-filter oil; this is not oil-free Pro DRY S media.
- Rounded open pleats provide usable filter area and dust-holding capacity.
- Full polyurethane perimeter frame and progressive bump seal.
- No numerical filter-flow increase is stated on the current exact manufacturer page. A percentage from a different Audi part is not transferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 30-10118?One Pro 5R OE-replacement air-filter element for the verified housing and engine application described here; this is not a complete intake system.
Which application should I verify?The current manufacturer names Audi A4 2002–2008, while the existing retailer table includes separately bounded 2009 A4 and Cabriolet rows. Exact ECS engine entries identify B6 A4 1.8T / V6 and B7 A4 2.0T / 3.2L housings. Those chassis details are more useful than a blanket 2002–2009 A4 badge: a 2009 Cabriolet carryover and a newer sedan or Avant must not be assumed to have the same original element. The existing 2009 portions remain an explicit body/generation/engine source hold rather than new certification for every B8 application. The same exact retailer engine table also lists B6/B7 S4 and B7 RS4 V8, but no exact year/trim table was established here, so no new S4/RS4 search rows or vehicle assignments are inferred. Do not extend fitment from a cross-reference alone or borrow another Audi filter’s dimensions or flow percentage.
Is the Pro 5R media oiled?Washable and reusable oiled cotton media. Use aFe POWER CLEANER and the specified blue air-filter oil; this is not oil-free Pro DRY S media.
Does the flow percentage guarantee more engine power?No numerical filter-flow increase is stated on the current exact manufacturer page. A percentage from a different Audi part is not transferred.
How does this filter seal?Its progressive bump seal and full polyurethane perimeter frame conform to the original housing. The manufacturer says separate filter gaskets or sealants are not required; the existing housing must still close and secure correctly.
Are a hose coupler and cleaning kit supplied?The exact listing identifies an OE-replacement filter. A generic Coupler Included field does not establish a separate hose package; no airbox, tube, sensor, cleaner or oil bottle is documented as supplied.
Does a 2009 Cabriolet row approve every 2009 A4?No. Body style and generation can differ within the same model year. Existing 2009 rows retain an explicit source hold until the engine and original element are matched; an A4 badge or Quattro drivetrain by itself is insufficient.
When should I clean and re-oil it?Inspect according to actual dust exposure and restriction. Washable and reusable oiled cotton media. Use aFe POWER CLEANER and the specified blue air-filter oil; this is not oil-free Pro DRY S media. Use low-pressure rinse from the clean side toward the dirty side, let the element dry naturally and allow the specified oil to wick before reinstalling. Do not use heat, compressed air or excess oil. Do not treat an older general-care mileage example as a guaranteed interval for every vehicle or environment.
Installation Instructions
- Read the exact manufacturer product information for 30-10118 and the original vehicle airbox service procedure.
- With the engine off and cool, compare the new filter and original element, including the sealing interface. Resolve an engine or housing mismatch before installation.
- Open the original housing according to its service procedure, remove the old element and keep debris out of the clean intake path. Clean the housing seat.
- Seat the polyurethane frame evenly without folding the bump seal or adding sealant. Close and secure the original housing and inspect all its attachments.
- Washable and reusable oiled cotton media. Use aFe POWER CLEANER and the specified blue air-filter oil; this is not oil-free Pro DRY S media.
No vehicle-specific installation PDF or numeric airbox torque is linked on this exact manufacturer page. Follow the original housing service procedure and the correct oiled Pro 5R maintenance directions. Read the manufacturer media maintenance guidance.
