The method to remove the air conditioning filter in a Golf: 1. Unscrew the two screws under the glove compartment by hand to remove the partition; 2. You will see a black rectangular cover, push it to the right to take it out. The air conditioning filter can absorb dust particles, reduce respiratory pain and irritation for allergy sufferers, making driving more comfortable and also protecting the air conditioning cooling system. The Golf has a length, width, and height of 4199mm, 1786mm, and 1479mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2578mm. The car's taillights feature a new matrix LED design, along with a flowing rear turn signal, paired with continuous chrome dual exhaust tailpipes.

As a Volkswagen Golf owner, I often change the air conditioning filter myself and find it quite easy. When replacing it, first clear out the clutter in the glove compartment on the passenger side. Then, push or press the limit clips on both sides of the glove compartment inward, and the glove box can be removed. Inside, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover, which is likely the filter housing. Gently pry open the cover to reveal the filter. When removing the old filter, note the direction of the arrow (indicating airflow). When installing the new filter, align it correctly and push it back in, then close the cover. Finally, reattach the glove box by securing the clips. The whole process takes just a few minutes and requires no tools. The key benefit is that regularly changing the filter prevents air conditioning odors, improves airflow, and is good for health, especially reducing allergies during spring when pollen is abundant. I usually check it every six months or 10,000 kilometers to prevent clogging. Although there might be slight variations among Golf models, the general location is behind the glove box. It's advisable to check the manual or watch a tutorial before starting for added safety.

Last time I changed the air conditioning filter for my Golf, as a beginner it took me quite a while. After opening the glove box, I fumbled around for a while to locate the pressure points on the side clips - at first I applied too much force and nearly broke them, but after a few tries I managed to remove it successfully. Once the glove box was out of the way, I saw the filter housing cover which opened with a simple pull, allowing the old filter to slide out easily. When installing the new one, I initially forgot about the arrow direction and put it in backwards - the airflow weakened noticeably until I reinstalled it correctly. My advice for first-timers: take it slow, work in good lighting, and you'll notice immediate improvement - my car's musty odor disappeared completely after replacement. A clogged filter reduces cooling efficiency and accumulates dust that harms lungs, so regular changes save hassle and protect health. Check it every 12,000 km or so - DIY replacement saves on mechanic fees.

It's time to replace the cabin air filter to ensure fresh air inside the car and reduce dust and pollen entry. My experience is to open the Golf's glove box, press the clips on both sides to remove it, locate the filter cover and gently pull it open, then take out the old filter and replace it with a new one. Remember not to reverse the arrow direction, otherwise the effectiveness will be poor. This operation is simple, and regular replacement can prevent allergen buildup, maintain the air conditioning's efficient operation, and make driving more comfortable.
