My brother has a A3 2003 with nasty smelling air con. So, we've got a new pollen filter to change. Problem is, we can't find where it goes.

Every guide online says either behind the glove box or behind the firewall under the bonnet. 2 hours of taking apart the dash and firewall and its no where to be seen!

We got to the aircon fan, but no where a filter could go.

Any advise?

Thanks for the advice guys.

We've had both sides of the scuttle panel out and its not there. We can see the fan, and when you start the AC a shield covered the fan and it starts going mad.

We've also taken the whole glove box out, and all we can see is the fan, no panels where the pollen filter would fit!

Is there any chance it doesnt actually have one?

Just for reference its this shape (but obviously a right hooker:
