Kudos to Porsche for making changing out the cabin air filter an easy-peasy DYI. 10 minutes and done, and that was my first time, so next time should be about 5 minutes.

Changing the filter on my Audi A6 was a PITA, required dropping the entire glove box assembly, and will be something I let my tech do next time. In fact, doing a DYI for just about EVERYTHING on an Audi is a PITA...

 

It's very important you have a clean cabin air filter...

Wouldn't want to see you getting any dirty air getting inside your cab now, JB.

 

Or a rodent making a home there. It's definitely easier than doing it on the Mercedes where you have to contort your body to get access to it.

 

If it's clogged, the A/C and heater doesn't work as well with the top up or my hardtop on in the winter.

 

Yuck! Mine wasn't anywhere near as bad. Any damage to your wiring from the little B-stards chewing on them?

 

+1 I'm not the most handy person and it was the most gratifying thing to be able to change the cabin filter, air filters, and my own oil change.

..thanks to all you guys and the DIY's posted


Of course this made my Pdealer frown at me when I took the car in for some warranty issues, once they found out I had did all the above myself! One less stealership victim :-)

 

I have both of those exact cars and agree completely! My wife Audi is a PITA to change.

 

Fortunately no, they didn't chew on any cables at all or at least the ones that are visible to me when I checked.
