The air conditioning filter in the new A6L is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Before replacing the air conditioning filter, the owner needs to remove the glove box. More information about the new A6L is as follows: 1. The new A6L features a wider grille with sharper contours, giving the front end a more expansive visual effect and a lower stance, maintaining a dignified presence while showcasing Audi's unique sporty DNA. 2. In terms of interior design, the new A6L's dashboard lines have added more angular elements to the previously dominant horizontal lines, and it slightly tilts toward the driver's seat, giving the interior a more youthful overall style while emphasizing the driver-centric philosophy.
Last time I replaced the air conditioning filter on my new Audi A6L by myself, which is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. When removing it, first empty the glove compartment, then firmly press the plastic clips on both inner walls to allow the glove compartment to flip downward and detach. At this point, you can see the cover of the air conditioning filter, which can be opened with a gentle pull. Inside, there's a rectangular filter frame—simply pull out the old filter and replace it with the new one. Pay attention to the arrow direction on the new filter; it should face the airflow direction inside the car to avoid installing it backward. The whole process takes about 15 minutes and requires no tools, but the glove compartment clips are quite tight, so women might need a man's help. It's recommended to replace the filter every 10,000 kilometers, especially during seasons with a lot of willow catkins in the north.
The air filter of the new A6L is quite hidden, located right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. At first, I didn't know and spent a long time searching inside the car. Later, I learned the correct procedure from a 4S store technician: after opening the door, empty the glove compartment, then simultaneously press the left and right inner walls of the glove compartment towards the center with both hands until you hear a click, indicating the release of the retaining clips. At this point, the entire glove compartment can be lowered, revealing the white plastic filter housing. When removing the old filter by lifting the cover, be careful not to spill dust. Ensure the new filter matches the model of the old one. The whole process isn't actually difficult; it's just that the clips might feel too tight the first time you remove them. A little finesse is all that's needed—never use a screwdriver to pry them open forcibly.
