The cabin air filter is a crucial component of your Audi A3, which is why it is important to replace it correctly after the recommended mileage set by the manufacturer. Fortunately, this is a fairly simple task that you can carry out independently without any issues.

Just follow this guide. First, go to the passenger side and open the glove compartment.

Next, remove the plastic panel located at the back. At this point, unclip all the pins around the perimeter of the grille and remove the grille as well.

Now, simply slide out the old filter and replace it with a new one. Finally, reposition all the components you removed earlier and close the glove compartment.
