Original MANN-FILTER Air Filter C 31 195 – For Passenger Cars

Overview of the MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 31 195

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 31 195 is a high‑performance filtration solution designed specifically for passenger cars. It delivers superior protection for the engine’s intake system by capturing airborne contaminants while maintaining optimal airflow. This filter is engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring that your vehicle receives the same level of cleanliness and efficiency as when it left the factory.

Key Features

• Advanced Filtration Technology: Utilizes a multi‑layer media structure that traps fine particles down to sub‑micron levels, protecting pistons, valves, and fuel injectors from wear.
• Optimized Airflow: The filter’s design balances filtration efficiency with low resistance, allowing the engine to breathe freely for improved performance and fuel economy.
• Durable Construction: Encased in a robust, weather‑resistant housing that resists moisture absorption and maintains structural integrity over extended use.
• Easy Installation: Features a quick‑fit design with secure mounting tabs, enabling straightforward replacement without the need for specialized tools.
• Long Service Life: Engineered to retain filtration capability for up to 30,000 km (or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer), reducing maintenance frequency.

Compatibility and Applications

The C 31 195 is tailored for a wide range of passenger cars across multiple brands. It is commonly found in models such as:

• Audi A6 (C4) – both sedan and Avant variants.
• Various VAG group vehicles including VW, Seat, Skoda, and Audi models that require a 69 mm filter cartridge.
• Other passenger cars with a standard air intake system compatible with the C 31 195 dimensions.

When selecting this filter, always verify the vehicle’s service manual or consult a certified technician to confirm fitment and maintenance intervals.

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on level ground, engage the parking brake, and allow the engine to cool. Open the hood and locate the existing air filter housing.
2. Remove the Old Filter: Unscrew or unlatch the housing cover, carefully lift out the old filter cartridge, and discard it in accordance with local regulations.
3. Inspect the Housing: Clean any debris from the filter slot and ensure that the gasket is intact. Replace the gasket if it shows signs of wear.
4. Insert the New Filter: Align the C 31 195 cartridge with the housing, ensuring that the airflow direction arrow points toward the engine. Gently press until it seats fully.
5. Secure the Housing Cover: Reattach the cover and tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
6. Verify Operation: Start the engine, check for any abnormal noises or leaks, and confirm that the air intake system is functioning correctly.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter at every major service interval or when driving in dusty conditions. A clogged filter can reduce airflow and increase fuel consumption.
• Avoid using compressed air to clean the filter, as this can damage the media layers. Instead, replace it with a new cartridge if contamination is severe.
• Store spare filters in a dry, cool environment to preserve their integrity until needed.
