Replacement of the cabin air filter of the Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 1, 8L - Years 1996-2003
Part: Cabin air filter

To ensure a constant flow of clean air in the cabin of the Audi A3, we must replace the dedicated filter at the scheduled intervals. We open the hood of the engine compartment, move to the passenger side and remove the upper gasket from the firewall, lift the waterproof cover. We extract the wiring from the partition and move it aside, remove the old filter element with its housing, insert the new filter into the housing, place a cloth at the filter outlet and clean the surfaces with a blast of compressed air. We remove the cloth, insert the new filter respecting the correct position, position the wiring in the partition, lower the waterproof cover and fix the gasket.

How to Change the H7 Headlight Bulb on an Audi A3

Once you have made your choice, installing the new bulb can be done without removing the headlight. Simply open the front bonnet, locate the protective cap of the bulb holder, and press on the corresponding latch to remove it. Then grasp the bulb's power connector and pull it out along with the bulb itself, disconnect the connector, fit the new bulb, and press it into its seat until it clicks into place.
