Location of the Audi Q7 Cabin Air Filter?
2 Answers
Audi Q7 cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Steps to locate the Audi Q7 cabin air filter: 1. Open the dashboard panel on the passenger seat. 2. Remove the black panel. 3. Feel towards the left side to find a black cover, opening which will reveal the filter. The cabin air filter used in vehicles is a consumable item that ages after some time of use. If not replaced for an extended period, the cabin air filter will become much less effective. There are two types of cabin air filters in vehicles: one with activated carbon and one standard type. The standard cabin air filter can only suppress dust from outside air and particulate matter in the air, while the activated carbon version can filter out some external impurities and absorb odors produced by prolonged operation of the air conditioning system.
I remember my Audi Q7 has been running for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side—quite hidden but not too hard to find. After opening the glove box, look inside to the right where there's a plastic clip or knob. Remove it to reveal the filter cover, then simply pull out the old filter and slide in the new one. This is a job you can easily do yourself; I usually bring a flathead screwdriver and finish it within 5 minutes. It's recommended to replace it every six months or 10,000 kilometers to maintain fresh cabin air, especially when family members are passengers, as it helps reduce allergens. Don't slack off—a dirty filter can impair AC airflow and even allow bacteria to circulate, which is harmful over time. Changing it is convenient and cost-effective, so making it a habit is definitely the way to go.
