Removing the cabin air filter? Here’s how to remove the filter from under the glove compartment of the A3. Remove the cloth located at the bottom of the glove compartment, then, remove the black cover. Extract the cabin filter to be replaced.

Insert a new pollen filter, ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the filter housing. Refit the filter box cap and secure the cloth cover under the glove compartment.

Check the correct installation of the previously fitted parts and close the dedicated compartment. Replace the cabin filter with one of the same size.
