The location of the air conditioning filter element in the Bora: The air conditioning filter element in the Bora is located in front of the front passenger seat. Open the hood, remove the 4 screws on the cover plate, and remove the cover plate to see the air conditioning filter element. Here are some tips for replacing the car's air conditioning filter element: 1. If the airflow from the air conditioner is significantly reduced, the air conditioning filter element may be clogged. First, clean the filter element or replace it if necessary. 2. The frequency of cleaning depends on road conditions (dusty roads, etc.). It is recommended to clean it earlier. 3. The air conditioning filter element should be installed correctly in its position. Using the air conditioner when the filter element is removed may degrade the dustproof performance and affect the performance of the air conditioner. 4. In cities with poor air quality, it is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter element twice a year.
I remember the location of the Volkswagen Bora's cabin air filter is pretty standard—it's behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Last time I helped a friend replace it, the process wasn't complicated: first, open the storage compartment on the passenger side, then press and release a few clips at the bottom or on the side to remove it. After that, you can see the filter housing—just pull out the old one and replace it with a new one. Be careful not to damage the plastic parts when doing it yourself, especially with older cars where the plastic can crack easily if you apply too much force. It's recommended to replace it once a year; otherwise, dust buildup can restrict airflow and cause unpleasant odors. Once you know the location, the replacement is quick—just a matter of 10-15 minutes—but beginners should watch online video tutorials or get assistance to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
