Performance Air Filter for Audi Allroad III 2012 and up with TSI TSFI Engines

High-Flow Induction for the Audi C7 Allroad: Optimizing the 3.0 TDI & TFSI V6 Platforms

Who It’s For: Engineered for Audi Allroad III (4GH) owners running the 3.0L V6 powerplants—including the high-torque TDI and the supercharged TFSI variants—who are looking to improve throttle response and engine efficiency.

The Symptom: The Audi Allroad is a heavy, sophisticated machine, but the factory paper filter is a bottleneck. Designed for long service intervals rather than performance, the OEM media creates a significant pressure drop within the airbox. When you demand power, the engine must work harder to pull air through dense paper fibers, leading to a “lazy” feeling during initial acceleration and a muffled engine note that hides the V6’s true character.

The Engineering Fix: This BMC system replaces the restrictive factory paper with a multi-layered cotton gauze media. By utilizing a “Full Moulding” system, the filter is created from a single mould with no welded joints, ensuring a perfect seal within the airbox to prevent unfiltered air bypass. The physics are simple: the cotton gauze, treated with low-viscosity oil, allows for a higher volume of air to pass through while trapping impurities as small as 7 microns. For the 3.0 TDI (CDUD/CGQB) and the 3.0 TFSI (CREC), this means reduced pumping losses and a more immediate transition into boost or supercharger engagement.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Enhanced Volumetric Efficiency: By reducing the intake restriction, the engine consumes air more easily, allowing the ECU to optimize timing and fuel delivery for better mid-range pull.
• Superior Filtration: Unlike cheap aftermarket filters, BMC captures particles down to 7 microns, providing better protection for your turbocharger or supercharger vanes than the standard 10-micron OEM paper.
• Lifetime Durability: This is the last filter you’ll buy. It is fully washable and rechargeable, meaning you stop throwing away paper filters and start maintaining a high-performance component.
