KAX Engine & Cabin Air Filter Kit for Audi 2.0L (CF11179/CA10522) — charcoal cabin, multi-layer

KAX CF11179 CA10522 is a paired engine and cabin air filter kit engineered to restore engine breathing and reduce cabin odors for compatible Audi 2.0L models.

This 2-in-1 replacement bundle was designed so you replace both the engine intake filter and the cabin pollen/carbon filter at the same time, avoiding the common oversight of changing only one. The kit includes a rectangular engine filter sized 12.7" x 5" x 2.6" and a matching cabin filter that uses coconut shell-activated charcoal and multi-layer filtration media to trap particulates and neutralize smells. It fits a range of Audi Q5, A4, A5 and allroad model years listed below and installs in minutes using the factory access points.

How does this pair improve engine performance and cabin comfort?

The engine air filter restores cleaner airflow to the intake, which can help maintain steady combustion and throttle response when changed periodically. The cabin filter’s multi-layer media and activated charcoal capture pollen, dust and reduce common odors, improving the air occupants breathe.

• Engine filter: premium filtration media to block dust and debris before the throttle body
• Cabin filter: coconut shell-activated charcoal neutralizes smells and VOCs
• Multi-layer design: traps particles of different sizes while preserving airflow
• Paired replacement: prevents mismatch in maintenance intervals for balanced performance

How difficult is installation and what tools are required?

Installation is designed to be quick and tool-light for routine DIY maintenance. Most owners can swap both filters in under 10 minutes with basic hand tools and by following factory access instructions.

• Estimated time: about 5–10 minutes for both filters
• Common tools: screwdriver or trim tool for access covers (varies by model year)
• Replace seals and fasteners as needed; follow vehicle manual for exact steps
• Discardable: filters are non-washable and non-reusable—install new units only

What are the kit’s material and care specifics?

The cabin filter features coconut shell-derived activated charcoal combined with layered filtration media to reduce odors and capture particulates. Both filters are single-use consumables packaged in a box; they are not washable or reusable and should be replaced according to driving conditions and the vehicle maker’s interval guidance.

• Cabin media: activated charcoal plus multi-layer fiber filtration
• Engine media: high-efficiency filter material for dust exclusion
• Packaging: boxed, quantity: 1 engine + 1 cabin filter per kit
• Replacement: follow mileage/time intervals or more often in dusty environments

Who is this for? The KAX CF11179 CA10522 kit is ideal for Audi owners who prefer a convenient, cost-effective maintenance solution that replaces both engine and cabin filters at once. Choose this kit if you drive a compatible A4, A5, Q5 or allroad with a 2.0L engine and want to simplify routine upkeep, restore airflow performance, and reduce in-car odors without sourcing two separate parts. Professional installers and DIYers will appreciate the correct dimensions, charcoal odor control, and a quick swap process that keeps vehicle filtration balanced.
