DIY Cabin filter and windshield wiper blades replacement

[lukine]

I thought the WIX filter is decent pricing. Turns out it's in USD and after shipping costs and everything, it's still going to be $77.19 USD which is equivalent to $106.49 using mid-market rate

And then I thought, maybe I should just buy it from https://www.oemproparts.ca/oem-parts/porsche-cabin-air-filter-pad819439, but when I try to add it to cart, it says no dealer available to sell it to me.

You didn't fully review the screenshots. There are two queries where the 2nd refines the search.

Stock exists as the links provided confirm. Did you not click these - they are on bold text with readable URLs?

This is a generic part used in a wide range of Audis (not just EVs) and as the Macan EV is related to the Q6 etron it is listed also.

Easy enough to find in your home country if not prepared to source from USA. OEM - https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/95cpollen.html

I saw the 2nd query and I did click on the links. Thank you for those. Wix is not actually being sold in Canada. That link is an American site that also ships to Canada. I posted the final pricing on my response above. At the end of the day, I think it's safe to say Canadians won't be able to source these filters for cheaper than $107 CAD (Wix filter).

Available in Canada, the US, and almost every other country.
I've never bought from there, but it's really cheap at $11... (Shipping costs about $20)

This is great, thank you! Shipping is not bad at all either. I can get 4 and it’ll still be 77.60.

@lukine just want to thank you for your service! The Macan EV / Q6 / SQ6 / A6 / S6 have all been around for a couple of years now, yet this is still the only resource online on changing the cabin air filter, including listing out the detailed part number. It's interesting that all the 3rd part filter sellers haven't quite caught up to make this particular part.

No problem. I ran into the same issues as you when searching for instructions or information about the filter. So I thought it'd be good to start this thread so we can help everyone else figure it out. Glad it helped. I purchased the filters from ak24parts.com and they're supposed to arrive next month. Hopefully they're right. I'll update the thread to confirm when they're here.

At least in the US, the filter is in stock at several major part stores like suncoast at ~$60. The audi part is $20 cheaper but is out of stock in most places.
