For anybody interested - this is how you change the pollen filter on the Arteon. It's the _exact_ same procedure.

Long story, but last weekend during some bad storms up here in QLD, we lost power for 30hrs. I went out and bought a generator. Carrying it in the back of the Arteon, it filled the whole car with the smell of petrol. A week later, and when I turn on my air conditioning - it still smells like petrol. Like the air coming through the vents smells like fuel, but only the first 10 seconds or so then it fades (but you can still smell it in the background).
I pulled out my air filter and yep...that's where the smell is coming from. The filter smells like petrol. So right now I'm airing it out in the sun to see if that gets rid of it. Failing that, I'll just replace it.
The arm in the video comes out just by pulling on it but there is a bit of resistance and then pop - it'll come straight out, so just be prepared.
