Passenger Compartment Forced Air Extraction, Removing And Installing: Notes
Depending on the vehicle version, there is different airflow routing and forced air extraction vent frames. Refer to the Parts Information. For example, a ventilation frame -A- is installed on the Audi A3 and A3 Sportback. Ventilation frame -B- is installed on the Audi A3 Sedan and the Audi A3 Cabrio.
The following illustrations show components as they are installed on the Audi A3 and A3 Sportback. On other vehicle version (for example the Audi A3 Sedan and the Audi A3 Cabrio) the arrangement varies.
For vehicles without a cover in the luggage compartment side trim panel (for example, on the Audi A3 Sedan at left and the Audi A3 Cabrio both sides), this side trim panel is to be removed (so that the ventilation frame tabs can be loosened to remove) if the forced air extraction vent frame is going to be reused after removing.
