Default Cabin and engine air filter

I have a 2012 A8L.
It is time for me to replace cabin and the engine air filter(s). I don't want to go to the stealer. Where can I find decent OEM parts. Is there any DIY clips for that in the forum?
Thank you

I usually just buy from Audi online dealers these days. I priced common maintenance stuff like these pretty frequently in last several years for various Audi's. I found in name Euro brands (Mann, Hengst, etc.), discounted dealer was commonly about the same or even slightly less than my other go to indy sites. Didn't used to be true, but some years ago Audi repriced maintenance parts to get more competitive. Typical one I use is the Portland OR one--audiusaparts.com. There are a few other larger ones in various parts of country.

Honestly I get most parts like that from Amazon now. Mahle is the OE brand for the cabin filter. If you do a quick search there are a couple writeups of how to change--it's the same as the A6 now, IIRC. It's extremely easy, you just need to unscrew a cover from the front of the passenger footwell and pull out the old filter.
