Cabin Air Filter Replacement Service

When Should I Replace My Cabin Air Filter

Volkswagen provides a recommendation for cabin air filter replacement contingent upon each model and year. The general recommendation across all Volkswagen models is at a 15,000 - 30,000 mile interval. However, since certain driving conditions can cause the filter to clog prematurely, it is wise to monitor vehicle performance for the warning signs of defective air filtration and replace the filter as needed proactively.

Warning Signs of a Defective Cabin Air Filter

• Foul or strange odors in the cabin usually described as dirty, musty, or moldy that may worsen when the air is on.
• Restricted or decreased airflow out the vents.

Allergies & Cabin Air Filtration

New cabin air filters can collect almost 100% of airborne particulates causing allergies or breathing issues for those with lung disease or sensitivities. When you install a new cabin air filter for peak cabin air filtration, those with allergies are protected from airborne pollen, spores, and harmful gases, such as ozone, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrocarbons. It is for this reason that many of our loyal customers with breathing sensitivities choose to replace their cabin air filter twice annually regardless of the recommended replacement interval.
