To replace the engine air filter in an Audi Q3, open the hood and locate the air filter box, situated at the top of the engine compartment and connected to the intake duct. Remove the Torx screws that secure the cover, then carefully lift it to access the filter element.

Remove the old filter and thoroughly clean the inside of the box, removing dust and other debris with a dry cloth. Insert the new filter into its housing, ensuring it is oriented correctly and fits snugly along the entire edge.

Reposition the filter box cover and reinstall the screws or close the fastening devices. Before closing the hood, check that the intake duct is properly connected and that all fastening points are tight.
