Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Q5?

[VonJosephine]

The Q5's air conditioning filter is located in two places: one under the car's engine hood, near the front windshield, and the other under the glovebox in the center console inside the car. The car's air conditioning system is responsible for heating, cooling, ventilation, and in some models, air purification. The Q5 is a dynamic and versatile SUV with dimensions of 4629mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1655mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2807mm. The Q5 perfectly combines the body design of a sports car, efficient power and responsive handling, the off-road safety performance of an SUV, and the excellent comfort and flexible interior space of a station wagon, inheriting many of the advantages of the third-generation top-tier SUV, the Audi Q7.

I've changed the cabin air filter on my Audi Q5 several times. It's usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you need to remove a plastic panel to access it. It's quite easy to DIY - just unscrew a few screws with a screwdriver, gently pull out the cover, and the filter sits in its slot. Just prepare a new filter (they're inexpensive) and you can finish the job in about 10 minutes. Remember to replace it regularly, like once a year or every 15,000 km. A clogged filter makes cabin air quality worse, and you might sneeze from inhaling dust or pollen. From a health perspective, this affects your family's breathing comfort, especially during long drives when using AC makes things fresher. My tip: pick a sunny day to do this to avoid dirt falling in.

My Q5 has been running for five years, and the cabin air filter is located under the glovebox on the passenger side. Just lift the floor mat to find a small access panel. The first time I replaced it, I fumbled around for quite a while until I checked the manual for confirmation. Now I'm used to changing it myself—saving on repair costs while ensuring fresh air inside. Replacing it every 20,000 kilometers is ideal; a dirty filter can cause unpleasant odors in the car, which isn’t good for children’s breathing and may trigger coughing or allergies. Health-wise, this shouldn’t be overlooked—the filter blocks external dust and bacteria, keeping the cabin air clean. By the way, wear gloves during replacement to prevent dust inhalation; the process is quick and easy to clean up.

I drive an Q5 Sport edition, and the cabin air filter is located right under the passenger footwell. Just remove the panel near the glove box to access it. I've changed it once myself by following a YouTube tutorial - it was quick and only required a screwdriver. This DIY method saves both time and money; the filter costs just tens of yuan online, half the price of dealership service. Recommended replacement frequency is annually to prevent bacterial buildup and maintain fresh air. Note that filter condition directly impacts driving comfort - post-replacement AC operation becomes noticeably smoother. Always check panel sealing to prevent air leaks.
