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.
