A4Q climate control air filter location?

[John Legelis <john.legelis@fmr.com>]

Hi - 

With pollen season up us, I've been thinking about cleaning/replacing the air filter that's supposedly contained within the A4's climate control system (the filter supposedly removes dust and other airborn particulates).  Does anyone know how to do this???  Where does it go, in the engine compartment, or the passenger compartment?  The owners manual doesn't make any mention of the part, or how to replace it  (the part # is 8A0-819-439A, it's about US$39.00).

My runny nose thanks you all....
