In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the cabin filter in an Audi A3 by following a few simple steps. First, purchase a new pollen filter from an authorised dealer.

The pollen filter in this type of vehicle is located under the glove compartment on the passenger side, so fully slide the passenger seat back, place a cloth under the filter box to protect the upholstery from dirt falling during the filter removal, remove the cover under the compartment, and take off the filter cover.

After this, you can extract the old filter element and install the new filter, following the arrows on the filter itself according to the airflow direction.
