The filter is engineered for a broad spectrum of passenger cars. It is fully compatible with models from Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda, and Cupra. Specific vehicle families include:

These vehicles share a common engine bay layout that accommodates the C 38 002 filter, ensuring a snug fit and reliable seal.

Installation Guide

1. Locate the existing filter: Open the hood and find the rectangular filter housing behind the air intake duct.
2. Remove the old filter: Unscrew or unclip the housing cover, then gently pull out the worn filter. Dispose of it responsibly.
3. Prepare the new filter: Remove any protective packaging and check for correct orientation (the side with the “MANN‑FILTER” label should face outward).
4. Insert the new filter: Place the C 38 002 into the housing, ensuring it sits flush against the sealing gasket.
5. Secure the housing cover: Reattach screws or clips and tighten them evenly to avoid gaps.
6. Check for leaks: Inspect around the filter edges; if any air escapes, re‑tighten the cover or reposition the filter.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter every 6,000–8,000 miles or after heavy dust exposure (e.g., construction sites).
• A clean air intake improves engine performance and reduces fuel consumption.
• If you notice a significant drop in power or an increase in idle noise, replace the filter promptly.
