The cabin air filter in the Audi Q5L is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you will need to remove the interior trim panel below the glove compartment. Here is more information about the Audi Q5L: 1. The Audi Q5L is equipped with two types of engines: a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. 2. Both engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power output of 140 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. This engine features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. The high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power output of 185 kW and a maximum torque of 370 Nm. This engine also features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block.
I've been driving the Q5L for three years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, you need to empty all the items inside, then pinch the plastic clips on both sides of the glove compartment and pull it outward—the entire glove compartment will drop down. At this point, you'll see a black plastic cover. You can use a screwdriver or simply pry it open with your hands to reveal the filter slot. Make sure the new filter is installed in the same direction as the old one to avoid putting it in backward. I replace it every six months, especially during seasons with heavy willow catkins in the north, as they tend to clog the filter more easily. Buying Mahle or Mann filters online costs just a few dozen yuan, much cheaper than at the dealership. The whole process requires no tools and is easy enough for anyone, including women, to handle.
