In this video tutorial, we can see the procedure to replace the cabin air filter on an Audi A6 by following some simple steps: the first thing to do is to purchase a new cabin air filter from an authorized parts dealer. The next step is to get inside the vehicle, turn off the car, and pull the handbrake.

The cabin air filter on this vehicle is located under the glove compartment, so you need to move the passenger seat all the way back for easier access. Using a ratchet wrench with an 8mm socket, you must remove the screws securing the glove compartment, then press the button to open the glove compartment.

Remove the right side trim panel, unscrew the screws holding the glove compartment, remove the compartment, and disconnect the connector. Remove the cover of the filter box and take out the old filter element from its housing.

After that, you can install the new filter element.
