Recently purchased a 1.4 TFSI Audi A3 on a 13 plate, want to check pollen filter, have checked below passenger side glove box, but does not look life threads on you tube etc.

can anybody please confirm locataion....thanks

Hello Alan,

Sorry, but I cannot really help you with the later 2013 A3, but with the earlier one, it is certainly above the passenger footwell (below the glove box) but it does hide itself very well! Might be worth having another look, since the black plastic cover (on the earlier model) simple sides in/out and is easily missed. 

Not sure if this helps.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi Alan

 

i own a a3 2013

just had a polen filter replacement at the dealership and ive noticted they've empty my glove box to change it.

plus there was some small leeves in there

so it might worth a look in there

 

 

From memory, I believe that you have to remove the glovebox to reveal the filter housing.
