Hi there could someone please tell me where the pollen filter is located on a 2004 A3.
I have a smelly aircon, have tried cleanse + recharge but still the same.Maybe I should have tried a new filter first and saved some money:mad:
Cheers in advance.Great site btw

Is it not under the suttel panel? Think There might be two, one on each side.

under the passenger glove box there is a foam trim,remove the trimand there is a black plastic cap about 10 inches long,slide the cap out and the filter is there.Pull it down and replace.

No! It's doing my head in now.Thing is it's not a constant smell and (the missus says!?) is not that bad,like a sweet sickly smell.It occurs when you first start the car with aircon on and if you turn aircon off (econ) last for a couple of minutes.Really annoying me now:zx11:

Hi deebee,
Checking the dust/pollen filter. If it is damp or has an unpleasant smell, replace.
See below link on changing dust/pollen filters...

Treat the a/c with a antibacterial cleaner.Your local a/c workshop should be able to help or you may be able to do it your self.
