S4 Fuel Filter cut open for your inspection, car feels much stronger now
Part # 8E0-201-511-J $ 54.00 US from the dealer.
I don't understand Audi not having a service interval on this filter?
They could have just put it in for 55k outside of the warranty if it was an "included maintenance" thing?
I just did mine at 72k and the car feels much stronger.
It's just a normal paper filter inside, nothing that would last a lifetime that's for sure.

The pump on my car was only noisy under 30 degrees...
Hopefully we get a nice cold snap for a few nights to make sure the filter change corrected the whine.

My filter died at 35k
I was at the winter driving school when the car developed a consistent whine (about 10-18 degrees all day). Quite a few people said it was the pump and I took it in assuming it was the pump - it turned out to be the filter. No issues since
