To replace the cabin air filter in an Audi A3 Sportback, open the passenger door and access the area under the glove compartment. Locate the cover of the pollen filter housing, usually secured with tabs or small fasteners.

Remove the cover and slide out the old filter. Note the installation direction indicated by the arrows printed on the filter and clean the inside of the housing to remove accumulated dust and debris.

Insert the new filter, ensuring the airflow direction indicated by the manufacturer is respected. Reposition the cover and ensure all fasteners are securely attached.
