To replace the engine air filter in an Audi A3, open the bonnet and locate the air filter box in the engine bay, connected to the intake hose. Remove the screws or unclip the clips securing the cover of the box. Lift the cover to access the filter.

Extract the used filter and clean the inside of the box from any debris. Insert the new filter in the correct position, ensuring it is well seated.

Replace the cover and re-screw the screws or reattach the clips. Check that everything is securely closed and that the air ducts are properly connected before closing the bonnet.
