2015 Passat cabin air filter replacement method: 1. Loosen the screws under the glove compartment counterclockwise; 2. Remove the protective panel directly; 3. Slide the cover to the right and remove the filter cover handle; 4. Take out the old cabin air filter and install the new one; 5. Reassemble in reverse order. The 2015 Passat measures 4870mm in length, 1834mm in width, 1472mm in height, with a 2803mm wheelbase, 70-liter fuel tank capacity, 490-liter trunk capacity, and a curb weight of 1435kg.
When helping my friend maintain a 2015 Passat, I often handle the replacement of the cabin air filter. It's located in the footwell area under the front passenger seat. First, remove the carpet or pedal cover panel—you might need a small screwdriver to release the clips. Then gently pull out the old filter, being careful not to let dust scatter. After cleaning the slot, insert the new filter (align the arrow mark with the airflow direction, usually pointing downward or toward the interior), and reassemble the cover. Generally, it's recommended to replace it every 1-2 years or every 10,000 kilometers. A fresh filter makes driving more comfortable and reduces allergens. Doing it yourself saves money, and wearing a mask for dust protection is safer. If the cover is hard to remove, don’t force it—seeking help from a professional shop is a good idea.
