got an '09 A3 nearing its 1st birthday. its starting to exhibit symptoms of an old cabin filter (musty smell, windshield fogging up, burning smell). i read a poster in one of the forums that he got charged $120 by the dealer to replace his! i'm bringing my A3 in next month for its 1-year service and i'm wondering if they'll charge me labour if i just ask them to do it.

also, the engine air filter is locked tight under screws. is that easy to get to?

any recos on brands of air filters? should i just buy them (both cabin and air) at the dealership and install them myself?

thanks in advance.

 

what wondering the same thing for my 09 a4

 

Try youtube. i found one but it won't be post the link.
