Here is the method for replacing the cabin air filter in an Octavia: 1. Remove the glove box. 2. Unclip the cabin air filter cover. There are 3 clips on the top of the cover; press them downward to release. 3. Install the new filter. Pay attention to the direction of the arrow on the filter and install it accordingly. Here is some related information: The cabin air filter can filter dust from the air and needs to be replaced regularly. Generally, it should be replaced every 7,500 to 10,000 kilometers. It is best to replace the cabin air filter during seasonal changes between summer and winter to ensure clean air inside the car. During routine car maintenance and cleaning, you can also take out the cabin air filter, clean the dust off it, and dry it with a blow dryer.
I shared my experience in the car enthusiast group that replacing the air conditioning filter for a Skoda Octavia is actually quite easy. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver and a new filter. The filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. First, open the glove box lid and look for a small handle or screw on the side or bottom. Unscrew it to remove the entire glove box bracket. At this point, you'll see a small opening—that's the air conditioning filter compartment. When pulling out the old filter, pay attention to the directional arrow to avoid inserting it backward. Then, insert the new filter, making sure the model matches, such as specialized products from Mann or Bosch. When reinstalling the bracket, push it firmly into place. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. For regular maintenance, replace it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year to prevent dust and odors from accumulating, keeping the cabin air much fresher! DIY saves money and is practical, but remember to check the vehicle manual for details before starting—safety first!
