Golf 7 air filter replacement method is as follows: 1. Open the front passenger door, then open the glove box; 2. Carefully pry open the decorative panel next to the glove box, applying slight force to open it, avoiding excessive force; 3. Unscrew the 4 screws on the glove box and remove it; 4. Open the clips on both sides of the air filter cover, pull out the old air filter, and pay attention to the direction when installing the new filter (the filter is marked). The Golf 7 has dimensions of 4255mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1452mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2637mm. For the interior, the Golf 7 is equipped with white LED ambient lighting in the front footwells, front interior door handles, and front door trim panels.
Replacing the air filter for the Golf 7 is actually quite simple. I often do it myself and feel like I've saved a lot of money. First, let's talk about the tools: no special tools are needed, and a new filter costs just a few dozen yuan on Taobao. As for the steps, open the storage compartment in front of the passenger seat, which is the glove box, press it down, locate the clips or small panel at the back, gently press to remove it, and then you'll see the position of the filter. Carefully pull out the old filter to check how dirty it is, then clean the dust inside the filter housing. When inserting the new filter, pay attention to the arrow direction—it should point in the direction of the airflow inside the car. Once it's securely in place, just reassemble the panel and glove box. The whole process takes about ten minutes, making it perfect for a weekend DIY at home, and it saves you from queuing at the 4S shop. Regularly changing the filter is good for respiratory health, especially in summer when the air conditioning is used more frequently, reducing allergies to pollen and dust.
