Where is the air conditioning filter of the Audi A5 located?

The air conditioning filter of the Audi A5 is located under the right front rain tray of the windshield. The function of the air conditioning filter is to ensure that the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air, and absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, and CO2. The dimensions of the Audi A5 are 4757mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1358mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2826mm. In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 2.0T 204-horsepower L4 turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 150 kW.
I just replaced the cabin air filter in my Audi A5, which is usually hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the glove box, and you'll find clips or screws inside. Remove them to reveal a rectangular filter housing. It took me about 15 minutes last time, requiring only a screwdriver. Remember to change it once a year, especially if you drive frequently. Otherwise, accumulated dust and pollen can cause unpleasant odors when the AC blows air, which isn't good for breathing. I always replace it in spring, so there's no musty smell when using the AC in summer – the cabin air feels much fresher, and it also reduces strain on the engine system. Honestly, once you get used to it, it's quite simple and saves you unnecessary expenses at the shop.
