Changing the Air Cabin (AC) Filter on your VW yearly is a very good practice especially if you suffer from seasonal allergies or commute in an area with lots of construction and road work. The filter element is not an expensive repair at all. You can purchase an OEM Air Cabin (AC) Filter with discounted prices ranging from $11-$18 for a replacement part, and a yearly replacement interval. Why not eliminate unpleasant odors and enjoy cleaner fresh air while driving your VW.
The Air Cabin (AC) Filter is located under the glove compartment in front of the passenger front seat.
Start by removing the 2 black plastic knobs that fasten the black foam cover.
