The aFe 31-10254 replaces the original airbox filter in the specified applications with oil-free synthetic media. The exact current manufacturer specifies Audi A3/S3/TT and Volkswagen GTI/Golf R 2015–2026 families, with three oil-free synthetic layers and 25 mm deep rounded pleats, 28 count. The depth is not overall filter height, and the count is not a filtration layer count. Exact per-part retailer tables independently support the original wider Q3, Arteon, Golf/Alltrack/SportWagen, Jetta and Tiguan scopes, including the existing 2015 Golf SportWagen TDI rows and 2019 Jetta 1.4L/2.0L distinctions. Those broader engine and housing applications are retained qualified, not inferred from sharing a VW platform. Original named-trim endpoints and gaps remain unchanged; the broad 2026 headline does not automatically extend every trim or generation. Retailer page titles sometimes call this dry part P5R, and mixed tables include additional unrelated model families; neither changes this exact synthetic oil-free configuration or certifies those new applications.

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 specifies Audi A3/S3/TT and Volkswagen GTI/Golf R 2015–2026 families, with three oil-free synthetic layers and 25 mm deep rounded pleats, 28 count. The depth is not overall filter height, and the count is not a filtration layer count. Exact per-part retailer tables independently support the original wider Q3, Arteon, Golf/Alltrack/SportWagen, Jetta and Tiguan scopes, including the existing 2015 Golf SportWagen TDI rows and 2019 Jetta 1.4L/2.0L distinctions. Those broader engine and housing applications are retained qualified, not inferred from sharing a VW platform. Original named-trim endpoints and gaps remain unchanged; the broad 2026 headline does not automatically extend every trim or generation. Retailer page titles sometimes call this dry part P5R, and mixed tables include additional unrelated model families; neither changes this exact synthetic oil-free configuration or certifies those new applications.
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 flow-gain or filtration-efficiency percentage is published on the exact current manufacturer page. A generic Pro DRY S figure, P5R retailer title or another filter’s performance number is not substituted.
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.
Do the TDI and Jetta rows come from platform similarity?No. Exact per-part retailer tables independently list the retained diesel SportWagen and 2019 Jetta engine scopes. Verify the actual original housing and engine; neither a common platform nor the broad 2026 headline extends every named row automatically.
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.
