2 Answers
According to the manufacturer's requirements, the cabin air filter of Volkswagen Teramont X needs to be replaced during every maintenance service, which means it should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers. Functions of cabin air filter: 1. Provide fresh air: It prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and driving safety; supplies fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 2. Ensure safety and hygiene: Keeps the cabin air clean and prevents bacterial growth, creating a healthy environment; effectively separates solid impurities in the air such as dust, powder, and grinding particles; effectively blocks pollen, ensuring that passengers do not have allergic reactions that could affect driving safety. 3. Adsorb harmful substances: Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., in the air; has strong and durable moisture adsorption capabilities. 4. Filter solid impurities: The car cabin air filter fits tightly to the housing, ensuring that unfiltered air does not enter the cabin. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles in the air.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Teramont X for several years, and the frequency of cabin air filter replacement is quite important. It's generally recommended to replace it every 15,000 kilometers or once a year, but this can vary from person to person. When I drive more in the city, where air pollution is heavy and there's a lot of dust, the filter gets dirty faster, the airflow decreases, and strange odors can easily develop in the car. I remember one time I forgot to replace it, and the smell from the AC was so strong it affected my mood while driving. After replacing it with a new one, the air felt much fresher, and the AC performance was restored. Checking the filter is simple—just open the glove compartment on the passenger side to inspect it. If it looks dark or feels dusty, it's time to replace it. Replacing the filter isn't expensive; you can buy the part for a few dozen yuan and do it yourself, or go to a repair shop. Neglecting replacement for too long may lead to clogged AC systems, costing more to fix. I recommend combining the user manual with your driving habits to decide, ensuring good air quality in the car for a safe and comfortable drive.
