The method for replacing the Touran's cabin air filter is: 1. Open the glove box and remove the screws securing it; 2. Remove the side panel, continue to remove screws, and take off the glove box; 3. Locate the compartment for the cabin air filter and remove its cover; 4. Install the new filter. Taking the 2021 Touran as an example, it is an MPV with body dimensions of: length 4527mm, width 1829mm, height 1659mm, and a wheelbase of 2791mm. The 2021 Touran is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Last month, I just replaced the cabin air filter for my Touran, and the whole process was quite straightforward. First, you need to locate the correct position—the filter is behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Remember to turn off the engine, then open the glove compartment. There are clips on both sides; gently press them to remove the glove compartment. Next, you’ll see a cover panel, usually secured with screws. Use a screwdriver to remove them. Carefully take off the cover panel, and you’ll find the cabin air filter. Simply pull out the old filter, check the direction of the new filter—there’s an arrow on it pointing toward the rear of the car—and make sure not to install it backward. Once installed, reassemble the cover panel and glove compartment. The only tool you need is a basic screwdriver, but be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the plastic parts. I recommend replacing it annually or every 20,000 kilometers to improve air quality inside the car and reduce dust and odors. The whole process took me 15 minutes—cost-effective and practical.
