Detailed Description

Wix 49343 is an engine air filter designed to help maintain clean airflow into the engine on select Audi models. Its 4.8-inch height, 6.42-inch top and bottom outer diameter, and 3.09-inch inner diameter bottom reflect the dimensions used in the original airbox application. This filter is a practical choice for drivers looking for an OE-style replacement for Audi A6 and Audi A6 Quattro service intervals, including 2014-2022 Audi A6 Quattro and 2022 Audi A6 allroad coverage.

This part cross-references FRAM CA11424 and NAPA Gold Filters 9343 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Restricted airflow caused by a dirty or loaded engine air filter
• Dust and road debris entering the intake system
• Reduced filtration performance during stop-and-go driving or short trips
• Moisture exposure that can affect filter durability
• Routine maintenance needs for Audi A6, Audi A6 Quattro, Audi A6 allroad, and Audi A7 service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the airbox dimensions and OE part number before installation. This filter is a direct-fit style for the listed Audi applications and should be installed in the factory air filter housing. Replace the filter at the manufacturer-recommended service interval, or sooner if the vehicle is driven in dirt roads, construction zones, heavy traffic, or other severe conditions.

Quality Assurance

Wix designs this premium panel air filter for normal and severe driving conditions and recommends it for OEM air filter change intervals. The filter media is laboratory tested to ISO 5011 standards, and the construction is intended to provide durable sealing and consistent filtration performance.
