Does anybody know where or if there is an air filter for the AC? When I turn on the AC it smells like somebody pissed in my system somewhere, so I would like to change that. Thanks

 

its your cabin filter. Theres a diy somewhere, im sure you can find it.

 

pop the hood, pull off the weather stripping on the Pass. side of the firewall, lift flap, replace filter. Easy to understand when you're looking at it. Let me know if you need more help.

 

I just did mine today and put one of those air freshener pads on the new one when I put it back in. (had a similar issue. mine smelled like wet dog though)

If you lift the hood and look over on the passenger side, lined up pretty close to the glove box; there'll be a white-ish clear square about 1"x5" right below the wipers. If you lift the molding up... its almost directly under that square. I'll get a picture in the morning. There're two little thumb clips in the front that hold it in. Pop those and it lifts up and slides out. Took me 3 minutes.

 

Yeah I just called up advance auto parts. $15 out the door. Plus i'm gonna put a smell good air fresh too! Hell YES!

 

Are the activated charchol ones worth the extra $5? Seems like it would prevent the smell from even getting in instead of masking it?

 

seems to work ok for me.

 

18 from the local audi dealer some years take diff filters my 01 takes the charchol type

 

Im gonna order the hepa-filter thing...
My allergies make my nose run onto my pocket protector. Joking aside though, people take for granted the difference in comfort in the car when you have cleaner air to breath on a joyride on a nice day (If you don't have your windows down. I usually do unless its a scorcher day. The A/C in my TT blows really cold air, but it somehow still doesn't cool the cabin very well -shrugs-

 

Sorry, took longer than I expected to get the pictures. here ya go. if anything... this can be referenced if anyone else needs to know -shrugs-


With everything still in place


Lift up the molding and plastic cover and you can see the filter (I have a blueair freshener pad sitting on top of mine in the picture)
