Helpful VW Cabin Air Filter Replacement Information and Reminders
What Does Your VW Cabin Air Filter Do?
The cabin filter is definitely an overlooked maintenance item on most of the vehicles we've seen. The pollen filter is designed to specifically remove pollen, allergens, and road dust from the air before entering your vehicle's interior cabin. The carbon-activated filter allows for the same filtration as the pollen filter but also filters odors, gases, and harmful air pollutants. These cabin filters allow for fresh filtered air to be delivered to the driver and passengers of the vehicle for health, safety, and driving comfort.
VW Cabin Air Filter Replacement Intervals
We recommend replacing your VW's interior cabin filter once a year or every 20,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
