Audi has chosen UFI Filters for the New A1
AUDI, known worldwide for the high quality and reliability of its vehicles, always producing leading edge technology, has chosen to declare itself in the growing list of automobile producers that relies on the filtering systems of the UFI FILTERS Group.
With the complex technology of modern vehicles, an advanced filtering system is the ideal “instrument” for every company that wants to guarantee a service of reliability and excellent performance on a worldwide level.
The filtering systems manufactured by UFI FILTERS are installed in the new A1, the AUDI model that will be launched onto the market in September. The UFI range, that can be adapted to the new generation of vehicles, is growing, as well as the range of AUDI automobiles that relies on UFI FILTERS systems.
UFI manufactures a complete air and fuel (petrol) filter for the 1.2 TFSI (86 HP) and for the 1.4 TFSI (122 HP) engines, and the complete air and diesel fuel module for the 1.6 TDI CR (90 HP and 105 HP) on the new A1.
The air filter is characterized by high filtering efficiency, which prevents even the smallest particles, thanks to the presence of a pre-filter on the cartridge, allowing a longest replacement interval.
The cartridge is a green cartridge, since it does not contain any metal elements. The medium is flame retardant, so the speed of propagation of the flame is very low.
The filter is available in the Aftermarket range, respectively as 27.621.00 for the UFI brand and S 7621 A for the SOFIMA brand, VAG original code: 6R0129620A.
The AUDI’s engineers have chosen for the petrol filter the UFI filtering system, with a high efficiency and filtering capacity, that guarantees a long life span.
The fuel filter is available in the Aftermarket range with the UFI FILTERS code 31.840.00, and SOFIMA code S 1840 B, OES VAG 1K0201051C.
The same vehicle is equipped with an extremely compact and robust diesel filter, which uses a folded technological paper cartridge on which a synthetic fiber layer is applied.
This has led to obtaining a filter that associates a very high filtering capacity, 94% with regards to 3-5 microns of diameter for pollutant particles, with an average life of 60,000 km, before having to be replaced.
The filter is identified in first equipment by both brands, UFI and VW, as well as by the respective code numbers: UFI 24.437.00 and VW 6Q0 127 401 F.
Equipped in OE at 100% on the 1.6 TDI model and already available in the Aftermarket with the above indicated UFI code and SOFIMA code: S 4437 NR.
