How do you replace the cabin air filter on an Audi A6? Follow these steps: Use a plastic trim tool to remove the cover located at the bottom of the dashboard (right side under the glove compartment). Get a screwdriver or a cordless drill (if you need to remove screws), and take out the screws securing the lower cover.

Remove the worn cabin filter; insert a new cabin filter, ensuring it fits snugly against the walls of the housing, reattach the filter housing cover, and tighten the screws (cover everything with the cloth placed under the drawer). Check that all previously installed parts are properly mounted.
