Let's see how to replace the cabin air filter (or pollen filter) on the Audi A6 C5. The filter is replaced from the engine compartment, so open the hood and remove the gasket and the plastic cover located under the windshield. The filter is positioned visibly and conveniently right under the windshield glass, on the passenger side, so just remove it. Clean the area with compressed air, then install the new filter, ensuring the arrows point downwards.

Reinstall the plastic cover and then the gasket. Close the hood.

The job is complete.
