Hello Alan,

Sorry, but I cannot really help you with the later 2013 A3, but with the earlier one, it is certainly above the passenger footwell (below the glove box) but it does hide itself very well! Might be worth having another look, since the black plastic cover (on the earlier model) simple sides in/out and is easily missed. 

Not sure if this helps.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

From memory, I believe that you have to remove the glovebox to reveal the filter housing.
