Periodically, you need to replace the filter that prevents dirt and dust from entering the ventilation system of the Audi Q3. You will find the filter housing under the glove compartment in front of the front passenger: to access it, remove the two plastic screws that secure the soft panel below.

Slide the cover of the box to the right, pull out the old filter, and replace it with a new one, ensuring the correct airflow direction.

Close the cover and insert the panel, making sure to position it correctly and secure it with its screws.
