Wow I would like to see a picture of this air filter box.
I have not seen an Audi 80 with the air filter box on the Left side, but =
I have not seen the 80 Quattros.
I would think it should look like my '83 Audi 4000S and be on the Right =
side under the fuel distributor.
On the '83 I have to pop off the 4 clips, and one is a PITA usually, and =
then carefully take the top part of the air filter box and lift it up. =
The top part also houses the fuel distributor.
I usually find it easier to take off the large intake boot. ;-)

It's a monster PITA to get to. It's on the left front. And the fuel
distributor is part of the top of the airbox. You have to about half-
disassemble the intake tract to get to it.
It may be worth your while to take it to an independent, if only to
save yourself the hassle.
I'm not kidding about the PITA part - you'll see.
BTW, on my turbo Audi, it's VERY easy to get to. :)
E.P.
