Remember to vacuum the compartment before replacing the filter.

Hello,

I'm looking for the famous protective foam that plugs the space below the filter. They must have forgotten to put it back during maintenance and today the fact that it is missing fresh air comes out at the level of the passenger's feet, and the passenger compartment takes time to heat up. Impossible to find this cover

Hello

I have an air conditioning problem with my 2008 Audi A3 P8. In fact, the air conditioning works but only on the passenger side and driver's side, but in the middle and at the bottom it doesn't work.

Please do you have any idea of the problem.

Thanks in advance

Hello Fouad,

We need to determine whether it is the ventilation control or the shutter actuator that is no longer working!

In general, if the control works, you should hear a slight movement noise or “clack..clack…” coming from behind the dashboard when you manipulate the ventilation control, if this is the case, you must analyze the state of the actuator(s) placed on the heating unit to know which one to replace, otherwise a case (diagnostic tool) could confirm a precise diagnosis too!

Did this happen after replacing your filter?

Good luck
