Informal 3 day tests, about 10% increase in mileage. Rebuild them with Jack's parts. They will pay for...

On an A2 , you pull the center console and expose a large plastic housing. Remove the 2 10mm nuts and detach the front. It connects to the vents in the center and tubing on the top left and right.
