The aFe 31-10176 replaces the original airbox filter in the specified applications with oil-free synthetic media. The exact current manufacturer names Audi A3/S3/TT2006–2013 and VW CC/Jetta/Passat/R322006–2018 across2.0L four-cylinder,2.5L five-cylinder and3.2L/3.6L six-cylinder families. The older V6-only title was incomplete; engine count or displacement still does not establish every chassis or housing. Exact per-part retailer tables positively identify the carried broader Audi A4/A5/A6/Q5/Q7, JettaTDI, Touareg, Eos and Routan2011–2012 scopes. Those original individual rows remain source-qualified rather than deleted as presumed contamination from a narrow headline. Missing Passat Turbo2008 and Passat TDI SE/TDI SEL2012–2015 named rows are restored from exact dry-part retailer detail, without creating engine pseudo-trims or expanding all Passats to every year. Other conflicting retailer endpoints and aliases remain at original bounded ranges pending exact engine/housing resolution. The primary overview says cotton gauze while its dedicated Pro DRY S paragraph specifies non-oiled synthetic media and three layers; an older retailer two-layer or universal-fit field does not override this current exact specification or make the product universal.

| Media conflict | Current dedicated three-layer oil-free synthetic versus primary cotton overview/older retailer two-layer wording |
| Scope boundary | Retailer universal-fit badge and broad year endpoints do not approve arbitrary housings or all engines |

One Pro DRY S 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 exact current manufacturer names Audi A3/S3/TT2006–2013 and VW CC/Jetta/Passat/R322006–2018 across2.0L four-cylinder,2.5L five-cylinder and3.2L/3.6L six-cylinder families. The older V6-only title was incomplete; engine count or displacement still does not establish every chassis or housing. Exact per-part retailer tables positively identify the carried broader Audi A4/A5/A6/Q5/Q7, JettaTDI, Touareg, Eos and Routan2011–2012 scopes. Those original individual rows remain source-qualified rather than deleted as presumed contamination from a narrow headline. Missing Passat Turbo2008 and Passat TDI SE/TDI SEL2012–2015 named rows are restored from exact dry-part retailer detail, without creating engine pseudo-trims or expanding all Passats to every year. Other conflicting retailer endpoints and aliases remain at original bounded ranges pending exact engine/housing resolution. The primary overview says cotton gauze while its dedicated Pro DRY S paragraph specifies non-oiled synthetic media and three layers; an older retailer two-layer or universal-fit field does not override this current exact specification or make the product universal.
Is the Pro DRY S media oiled?Washable oil-free synthetic media. Use the specified aFe POWER CLEANER, rinse appropriately and dry fully; do not apply air-filter oil. The current exact manufacturer specifies three layers of oil-free synthetic media.
Does the flow percentage guarantee more engine power?No numerical airflow-gain, efficiency or horsepower test is published on the exact current manufacturer page. No different-media value, complete-intake claim or generic retailer percentage is 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.
Is this only for V6 engines or a universal Audi/VW filter?Neither claim follows the exact source. The current manufacturer names four-, five- and six-cylinder families, while every actual application still requires the correct original housing and bounded year/engine detail. A retailer universal badge does not authorize arbitrary fitment.
When should I clean it?Inspect according to actual dust exposure and restriction. Washable oil-free synthetic media. Use the specified aFe POWER CLEANER, rinse appropriately and dry fully; do not apply air-filter oil. The current exact manufacturer specifies three layers of oil-free synthetic media. Use low-pressure rinse from the clean side toward the dirty side, let the element dry naturally before reinstalling. Do not use heat, compressed air or any filter oil. Do not treat an older general-care mileage example as a guaranteed interval for every vehicle or environment.
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 oil-free Pro DRY S maintenance directions. Read the manufacturer media maintenance guidance.
