How often should the air filter of the Volkswagen Phideon be replaced?
2 Answers
The air filter of the Volkswagen Phideon should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Remove the damping rods on both sides of the glove box; 2. Take off the glove box to see the black rectangular cover, pry it open and remove the clips; 3. Take out the old air filter; 4. Install the new filter. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Phideon as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large-sized car category, with body dimensions of length 5074mm, width 1893mm, height 1489mm, a wheelbase of 3009mm, a fuel tank capacity of 75 liters, a trunk capacity of 440 liters, and a curb weight of 1805kg.
Having driven the Volkswagen Phideon for so many years, it's recommended to replace the air conditioning filter every 12 months or 15,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. If you drive in areas with a lot of dust or heavy pollen, check the filter every six months for dirt and replace it earlier if necessary. I once forgot to replace it, and the air blowing out had a musty smell, which worsened my nasal allergies. Fortunately, the replacement process is simple—usually hidden behind the glove box on the passenger side. Buying a new filter online costs just a few dozen bucks, and there are plenty of tutorials available. Installing a new filter ensures smoother airflow and protects the entire AC system from clogging and damage. Developing a habit of regular maintenance saves money and hassle, especially before using the AC in summer—always check to ensure clean and comfortable air inside the car.
