Where is the air filter located in the Audi A8?
2 Answers
The Audi A8 has two air filters, divided into the internal air filter and the external air filter: 1. Internal air filter: There is a fabric barrier under the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open it, and you will see a plastic cover, which is the air filter cover. Remove the plastic cover to access the air filter. 2. External air filter: Stand at the front of the car, facing the engine, and look at the upper left side of the engine compartment. If you are sitting in the driver's seat, it is located under the right-side wiper. There are several screws; remove them, then gently flip the seal upward to reveal the air filter. Below is some relevant information: The Audi A8L is an imported vehicle. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, available in two versions: high and low power. The high-power version (55TFSI) has a maximum power of 250 KW and a maximum torque of 500 N·m, while the low-power version (50TFSI) has a maximum power of 210 KW and a maximum torque of 450 N·m.
The cabin air filter of the Audi A8 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you'll see some clips or screws. Remove them to reveal a plastic cover, inside which the filter is placed. I've driven an A8 for several years and find it quite convenient to replace the filter. Just remember not to pull the glove box too hard to avoid damaging components. When the filter accumulates dust over time, it affects the air quality inside the car, which is especially bad for people with allergies or respiratory issues. It's recommended to replace it every six months. If you're handy, you can do it yourself with a screwdriver. Choosing a high-efficiency filter will make the air from the AC fresher. If you find it troublesome, a professional repair shop can get it done in just a few minutes.
