2 Answers
The steps for removing and installing the air filter for the 2020 Audi A6L are as follows: 1. The intake air filter is located at the bottom left of the engine compartment's shield. First, remove the foam on the far left, then lift the sealing strip to open the shield and expose the air filter. 2. The air filter is housed in a rectangular frame; unclip the frame's fasteners and remove the entire assembly. 3. Replace with a new air filter and clean the air intake duct. 4. Reassemble in the reverse order. The 2020 Audi A6L is a mid-to-large-sized sedan under FAW-Volkswagen Audi. Taking the Audi A6L 2020 40TFSI Luxury Elegance model as an example, its powertrain is equipped with a 2.0L inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I previously replaced the air conditioning filter on my 2020 A6L by myself, and the whole process was quite simple—it didn’t even require any tools. First, open the glove compartment on the passenger side. There are clips on both sides; gently press them to release and remove the glove compartment. Then, you’ll see a plastic cover. Pull it out in the direction indicated by the arrow to expose the filter slot. When removing the old filter, pay attention to the arrow direction to avoid installing it backward. Take the new filter out of its packaging, align the arrow, and insert it back in. Finally, reinstall the cover and glove compartment in reverse order, and you’re done. Regularly replacing the filter is important—typically every one to two years—as it helps prevent odors inside the car and maintains fresh air, which is especially beneficial for those prone to allergies. After replacement, the air conditioning noticeably feels more comfortable.
