After a spot of lurking on this thread, I decided to treat Helga to a new pair of pollen filters. After an initial scare by looking up ECP's offering at £70, I was able to procure a pair online for just £15 (OEM). I've never replaced them, on either my previous 1999 A8 or the current 2000 A8L. Probably one of the easiest jobs ever on the Audi so far.

Eagle-eyed viewers will also spot my fan blower motor shroud/surround which was replaced/enhanced with some beefy neoprene-like foam about 6 months ago, and it's looking pretty good in my view.
