Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

Model: Audi A5 8T3, 8F, 8T8, 8T - Years 2007-2016
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just below the glove compartment, but it is not necessary to remove it for replacement. Instead, remove the three screws securing the plastic cover above the heel pad to access the air duct and the cabin air filter housing. At this point, remove the cover of the cabin air filter container and extract the old filter, ensuring there are no dirt residues inside the housing, and insert the new one (activated carbon type is recommended), following the airflow direction.
