Replacement of Cabin Air Filter

Model: Audi A8 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located in the engine compartment under the windshield. People sensitive to pollen allergies should replace this filter frequently, as the cabin air filter purifies the air inside the vehicle, preventing pollen and dust from entering the cabin. Obtain a cabin air filter that is identical to the original model. To access it, remove the rubber seal from the air intake compartment. Once the cover is removed, take off the lid by turning the four plastic screws about ¼ turn. Remove the cover by lifting it and take out the filter from its housing, pulling it upwards carefully to avoid dust dispersal. Clean the housing from any dirt. Insert the new cartridge into the container, paying attention to the orientation, and close the lid with the clips.
