Last month I drove my car (fairly new, 2018) in a very dusty farm (I did not
expect that) for about 20 minutes, and my car collected a thick layer of
dust. The soil there is reddish color, so dust on my car was very much
visible.
I washed outside the car, no problem. But when I opened up the hood, there
was a layer of reddish dust covering every part there (engine, battery, etc.
) under the hood. I used a slightly moist towel to wipe dusts off under the
hood where I can reach, but I can still see some reddish dusts where I
cannot reach/clean.
I called my dealer, and they recommended replacing engine air filter and
pollen air filter without looking at my car. Is this necessary? Anything
else I should be concerned with? I googled a little bit, and some said
engine oil/filter should be changed after car is driven in very dusty
environment. My engine oil/filter were recently changed in March 2021, and
next oil/filter change is March 2022. My car drives normal though.
Any suggestions? 3X! | a******d

换机油是怕发动机进气没把灰过滤干净，灰进到发动机里去了吗？
总之没啥建议，可以把两个filter换了，没多少钱。油不知道，你宝贝车的话就换，买
菜车就算了。 | i*****u
发帖数: 776 | 3 Thanks. It is a decent car (2018 Audi A6, bought it new), but I mainly use
it to 买菜, haha
I don't know much about cars, so I was concerned if the heavy dust might
ruin engine etc. I am not sure whether 灰进到发动机里去了. Probably not, as
the car drives normal.

发帖数: 776 | 5 谢谢。早已经用湿毛巾擦过了 :-( 不过只沾了一点水，算是slightly moist towel,
是在车凉的时候擦得。

Yes. engine air filter 是必须的。
我的pickup前一段早上开 前几分钟engine有点吃力。换了engine air filter后，马上
就好了。这就像人戴了个堵塞了的口罩，呼吸困难，换个新口罩，立马好了。

发帖数: 776 | 9 Thanks. I will search youtube videos on how to change these air filters for
an A6, and see if I can handle that. I sometimes worry that after I take
down some parts, I cannot put them back on, haha
