How often should the air conditioning filter of the Volkswagen Lavida be replaced?

[DelChristopher]

The air conditioning filter is generally replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or every 1 to 2 years. Functions of the air conditioning filter: It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption capabilities. It prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and enhancing driving safety. It provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It also effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. Precautions for replacing the air conditioning filter: Purchase air conditioning filters produced by reputable manufacturers. Always turn off the car engine before replacing the air conditioning filter. Pay attention to the installation direction of the filter during installation to avoid installing it backward.
