2012 Audi A3 Winter Front

[panpparkie]

I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I was having some issues today with the car hiccuping. Turns out cold air and condensation created ice in the cooling pipes. They thawed everything out and removed the air intake cover which is a common remedy. They told me to try and buy a winter front but oddly enough, Audi doesn’t make them. Anyone out there know of a place that sells them?
Any suggestions are welcome!

On both my 2009 Jetta TDI and my current A3 TDI I put something together with copper pipe insulation, and tie-wraps. It looked ok from a distance, kinda crappy up close but I didn't care. It worked well and did the job. The foam even held up over many winters. You can google many images to see how people attack it. Good luck.
