How to Replace the Air Conditioning Filter in a New Bora?

[DelHaley]

When replacing the air conditioning filter in a New Bora, first ensure the car is turned off. Then, open the outer casing of the car's air conditioning system located in the passenger seat area. Once the casing is opened, the air conditioning filter will be visible. Align the clips to remove the old filter, and install the new one using the same method. The New Bora is the second brand launched by FAW-Volkswagen after the Jetta. Its front design incorporates Volkswagen's new design language, featuring integrated lines that connect the headlights with the chrome grille. The precise contour lines of the headlights complement the internal design and harmonize with the chrome grille, forming Volkswagen's signature front face.

I just replaced the air conditioning filter on my new Bora last month by myself. First, empty the glove compartment on the passenger side, then squeeze both sides inward firmly to remove the entire glove box. Next, you'll see a plastic cover; unclip it to take out the old filter. Here's the key: the arrow on the new filter must face the front of the car when installing it—installing it backward will ruin the filtration. Finally, reattach the cover and make sure the glove box clicks back into place. The whole process takes about twenty minutes, saving over 200 yuan compared to going to the dealership. It's recommended to replace it twice a year: a pollen filter in spring and a standard one in autumn to keep the air inside fresh.

I've replaced the cabin air filter three times by myself. First, empty the glove compartment, then press inward on both sides to remove it. There's a cover with clips inside - pry it open to access the old filter. When installing the new filter, pay special attention to the arrow direction; it must face the driver's seat. Here's a tip: take a photo of the old filter's orientation with your phone for reference. You'll hear a click when the glove compartment is properly reinstalled. The whole process takes no more than fifteen minutes. Online filters cost just 30-40 yuan, much cheaper than shops. Regular filter changes also prevent AC odors.

Changing the air conditioning filter yourself is quite simple. Empty the glove compartment on the passenger side, press firmly on both sides of the grooves with both hands and push inward, and the entire compartment will come off. Open the inner panel to reveal the filter. After removing the old one, pay attention to the airflow direction arrow on the new filter when installing it back. Installing it backwards will affect the air conditioning performance. The whole process takes about ten minutes and doesn't require any tools. It's recommended to replace the filter every 15,000 kilometers or when you notice odors. Opt for an activated carbon filter to effectively filter PM2.5. Doing it yourself saves both time and money compared to going to a repair shop.
