2 Answers
Sagitar air conditioning filter replacement method: First, remove the glove box, then locate the air conditioning filter base plate, remove the cover to reveal the air conditioning filter, pull out the old filter, and install the new one. Pay attention to the direction of the arrow on the air conditioning filter during installation, then reassemble the glove box in the reverse order. The Sagitar is a compact sedan under the Volkswagen brand. In terms of power, this car is equipped with two engines: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. Regarding body dimensions, the Sagitar measures 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm.
I enjoy working on my car myself, and changing the Sagitar's cabin air filter is quite simple. It's located in the footwell area under the front passenger seat, near the back of the glove box. First, empty the glove box to make the process easier. Second, there's a small clip on the right side of the glove box—press or push it down gently with your finger to release the glove box. Once removed, you'll see a plastic cover; unscrew the two screws or simply unclip it. Third, take out the old cabin air filter—pay attention to the arrow direction on the filter, indicating the airflow to avoid installing it backward. Insert the new filter in the same orientation. After replacement, reattach the cover and glove box. The whole process takes about 20 minutes and requires no tools. Buying the filter yourself costs just a few dozen yuan, saving on service fees at the shop. Replace it regularly every year or 15,000 km to keep the cabin air fresh, especially for a more comfortable drive in summer.
