Hi,

Does anyone know where the cabin air filter is located on a 2011 TT roadster. I have searched YouTube. There is nothing behind the passenger side wiper or behold the glovebox.

 

See if this helps you out.

Not there. I have remove the rubber molding under the hood, no filter. Another video claimed it was behind so foam covering behind the glove box, my TT has solid plastic. Next video for a 2011 TT showed it was in a recess panel passage side footwell. No recess panel solid covering. Does anyone one have any additional ideas as to where the cabin air filter is.

 

You wouldn't happen to still have the owners manual for the car, do you? I may show it in there.

 

Dave,

Checked Owens manual, nothing about the Cabin Air Filter or where it is.

 

Figures... They want you to take it to the stealer....er..dealer for every little thing these days. Gotta be on that passenger side somewhere.

 

Forget about all those YouTube videos concerning the 2011 cabin air filter. There are no screws, foam liners, passenger foot wells to take out. It is located behind a plastic grill in the center of the passenger side fire wall. It takes all of about 5 seconds to remove. The filter is one piece with a diagonally cut along the bottom. Have to say the Service people at Tom Wood Audi in Indianapolis were super great. Went into service to ask where the filter was located. A service guy came out, showed me where it was, popped it out, cleaned the housing and installed a new filter for just the cost of the filter. This is a case where the dealer was great.

 

I know I rag on the dealers a lot but you do have some good people working at most of those places. What gets me most of the time is the outrageous prices they have on a lot of items that, if you shopped around or at least took the time to look, you'd save yourself almost half the costs. Their labor rates are crazy too. However, this is how they make their money and most of their customers can afford it. I cannot. Short of picking the right 6 numbers one weekend, will never be able to afford to just drop my car off at that shop and have them fix every little thing. Even if I were ever able to afford it, it would still only be major things that I'd take it to them or any other shop for.

Our local Porsche Dealership (Rick Hill Imports) has been great to me but I only go to them for parts that I cannot find elsewhere. They dropped Audi several years ago and I really wished they'd pick it back up. The first time I did a timing belt on my 87 944, I had the balance shaft belt just a little tight and it whined.. This was 1993 before I had a lot of online references or the factory repair manuals. I took it to the dealer to have them check it for me. The mechanic took me back and gave me a few pointers on how to set the tension without the EXPENSIVE tension measuring tool that is shown in the service manual. He showed me the belt twist method and I've use that method for the past 24+ years. I was only 24 at the time and I guess he was happy to help a young wrencher like me learn about the mechanics of the car.
