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.

As a family user with children, I pay special attention to the replacement of the air conditioning filter in the Volkswagen Teramont X. The filter mainly removes dust, pollen, and pollutants from the air. Timely replacement ensures good air quality inside the car, preventing allergies or coughing in children. I typically replace it every 6-12 months, especially during pollen season or in heavily polluted areas, when I do it more frequently. If a dirty filter isn’t replaced, the airflow decreases while driving, making the car stuffy, and it may even produce odors and breed bacteria, posing health risks. I simply check the filter's location on the passenger side, gently open it to see if replacement is needed. Regular replacement is cost-effective—just spend a few dozen yuan on a new filter and install it, saving money and ensuring peace of mind. This also improves AC efficiency and saves a bit of fuel. In short, adjusting based on the environment and season makes family trips more comfortable and healthier.

From a cost-saving perspective, replacing the cabin air filter of the Volkswagen Teramont X is very economical. I change it every 15,000 kilometers or about once a year. The filter is cheap, costing just tens of yuan whether bought online or in stores. Doing it yourself is simple, requiring no professional tools, and takes only about ten minutes. If not replaced in time, a clogged filter can weaken the airflow from the AC, increase the compressor load, and lead to higher fuel consumption. Over time, it might even cause damage to the AC system, resulting in repair costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan, which would be a much bigger loss. I regularly check the filter behind the glove compartment and replace it when it turns black. This small investment brings great benefits, saving fuel and ensuring good air quality. Based on personal driving habits, if you drive more in the city or in areas with poor air quality, replacing it earlier can save you hassle and money in the long run.
