Finally decided to change the cabin air filter at 20K miles. Followed the video. It is super easy. Thank you Scott. Only thing I would add is to use a cloth to clean the empty filter cabin before put a new one in. My filter cabin has dirt, debris and some leaves.

Thank you! I don’t know how you would have figured that out! The job was full of surprises. Thanks for stopping me from ripping the glove box out.

Thank you Scott for doing this. Big help. Appreciate you going to the trouble. Sure helped me!

Air flow arrows point into passenger cabin direction and there are no no tools required on my 2018 Q7 3.0T Prestige cabin air filter replacement. Well done job and great video and kid commentary. Thanks Scott!! Rock-On DIY nation.

Hi Scott, Thanks for the video. Wanted to make one addition. There are spots for 4 screws, too. 2017 Q7 had 2 installed. Need a T-20 to remove. There were only 4 click tabs. But the install was otherwise as you described. Arrow on filter points into the cabin. Pretty sure you mentioned this, but a few missed your comment. FYI, the engine air filter is easy to install. There are two metal clips in front of the cowling holding it down. Release the clips and lift the front of the cowling to ~45 degrees, then pull it out. Air filter is held in with a single screw on the top (need a T-20). You have to lift the free side of the air filter before you can remove it. It's snug, but will pull out.

Video matches perfectly with a 2018 Audi Q7. Thank you!

Thanks for the video! Just to confirm, the install is identical for 2021 q7 as well.

Really needed this..thanks brother

Perfect. Less than 1/3 of the cost. I got the "expensive" filter from amazon

Rad video man

Thank you for your informative straightforward steps to replace this cabin air filter. I could only find your video too. 👍

Thank you! Nice job explaining how to do it.

Thanks for this video Scott. You're indeed correct, there were no other videos related to this maintenance. This really helped. I'm now interested in the engine air filter replacement as there is no videos available. I can only see a screw in the center but it does not give way after removal. Looking forward to your response. Thanks again boss.

This just helped me out, thank you.

Awesome thank you so much for posting this.

Thank you Scott for this video. Really helpful!

Cheers mate , good work.

You are the best!

Great video! Thanks. Can't wait to change mine now. 👍🏾

great well directed instruction thank you

Great video! Very thorough

Do you have video for air filter change?

Are you sure the airflow goes away from the fire wall ? I put my hand inside and it seems to draw air in from under the glove box through two vents and then out toward the firewall and up . Meaning the direction of flow would be toward the firewall . Just a question I know you pulled it out and saw the previous arrows on the old filter but seems backwards .

Excellent thank you!

Dear Scott, Thanks you save my money 🙂

Thank you! 👏

thx my dude

IF YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE, CAN YOU POST WHICH WAY THE AIRFLOW ARROW WAS POINTING? TOWARDS THE CABIN OR FIREWALL?

Hey so I'm getting some notes that some of you have torx screws to deal with ( I did not need tools of any kind.) and the filter goes in/out opposite from my car - I assume these are model year changes or some other variation, maybe by country.

Thanks for the info

오 이런방법이!!!!

Went and pulled my filter, it was previously installed pointing into the firewall. Wonder what is correct....

4/19/24 - Audi Plano wants 134.02 for changing this filter. Less than 10 minutes work.

Scott, could you also do a video on engine air filter replacement? Thanks!
