The Audi A6 has three air conditioning filters, located under the glove compartment of the passenger seat, the intake manifold, and the engine compartment water drain cover. Here are the steps for removing the Audi A6 air conditioning filter: 1. Open the glove compartment of the Audi A6, release the clips on both sides of the glove compartment, remove the glove compartment, and you will see the air conditioning filter inside the glove compartment. 2. Open the Audi A6 air conditioning filter cover and remove the air conditioning filter. 3. Then install the new air conditioning filter, paying attention to the correct installation direction. 4. Finally, cover the Audi A6 air conditioning filter cover.
Last year I replaced the cabin air filter in my Audi A6, which is located in the footwell area under the passenger seat, specifically beneath the carpet on the door side. You need to gently pry off a small trim panel in front, and then you can see the filter cover; unscrew it, and the old filter can be pulled out to replace with a new one. The whole process is quite simple, usually taking only about ten minutes to complete, saving money by not needing a mechanic. I recommend checking it once a year or replacing it every 15,000 kilometers, because a dirty cabin air filter can cause bad odors in the car, and dust can easily trigger allergies. After I replaced it myself, the air inside the car became much fresher, especially making summer drives more comfortable. Remember the location correctly, as many Audi models are similar.
I've been an Audi A6 owner for over five years. The cabin air filter is located under the floor on the passenger side. You can find the filter cover by lifting the carpet or moving some interior parts. Just be careful not to break the clips when replacing it. I always do it myself, saving about 100-200 yuan in maintenance fees each time. I recommend replacing it every year to prevent bacterial growth. Additionally, frequent filter changes improve AC efficiency, making cooling faster in summer. If you're unfamiliar with the details, you can check online tutorials or ask friends. DIY is quite rewarding—safe and cost-effective.
I think the cabin air filter is right under the front passenger seat, just lift up some fabric and you'll see it. It's not difficult to replace, I change mine every other year to ensure good air quality inside the car. It's especially important for families with children, helps reduce sneezing issues.
