A filter holder assembly is provided for the optional holding in a motor vehicle at a dust filter alone or a dust filter and an absorption filter which is optionally arranged directly downstream of the dust filter. A frame lower part is provided which either holds the dust filter or the absorption filter. When the frame lower part holds the absorption filter, a frame upper part which holds the dust filter is releasably arranged upstream of the frame lower filter.

In a filter insert which is received exchangeably in a shaft along a channel and which can be fixed sealingly relative to frame shaped shaft walls via at least one gasket preferably continuous on a flow-off side of the filter, it becomes possible to change the filter easily, without the danger of damaging the gasket, if there is at least one pressing element which can be connected to a pressure reducing device. When the pressing element is in the contracted pressure reduced position, a continuous gap forms between the gasket and associated shaft wall during a shift of the filter, this gap being cancelled when the pressure reducing device is disconnected.

A connecting element for connecting a fluid line to a component which can be acted upon fluidically, comprising a C-shaped retaining clamp and a bore which passes through at an angle to the retaining clamp is attached to a connection bore of the component in such a way that a push-in connection piece of the fluid line, which is pressed into the retaining clamp transversely to its longitudinal axis, is at the same time inserted through the bore and into the connection bore for forming a fluidic push-in connection.
