Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Bora?

Bora's air conditioning filter is located under the hood, on the left side of the rain tray at the drainage panel. There are four screws in this position. After removing the screws and pulling out the decorative panel, you can see the air conditioning filter. Specific location: in front of the co-pilot's windshield, under the wiper. Related knowledge about air conditioning filters: 1. Without the air filter, once these particles enter the compartment, not only will the car's air conditioning be polluted and the cooling system's performance reduced, but also the human body will inhale dust and harmful gases, leading to allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and the influence of odors, all of which affect driving safety. 2. High-quality air filters can absorb fine particles, reduce respiratory pain, lessen irritation for allergy sufferers, make driving more comfortable, and protect the air conditioning cooling system.

Last time I changed the cabin air filter for my Volkswagen Bora myself, it's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The removal process is quite convenient - you don't need tools, just press both sides of the glove box with your hands to detach it. You'll see a rectangular plastic cover panel, unclip the fasteners and you can access the filter. Pay attention to the arrow direction on the filter, installing it backwards will affect filtration efficiency. I recommend replacing it every six months, especially installing a new filter before pollen season - you'll clearly feel much fresher air when using AC afterwards. Some experienced car owners neglect this, resulting in a persistent musty smell in their vehicles.

Attention to Volkswagen Bora owners, the cabin air filter is hidden behind the glove box. When performing the operation, remember to empty the storage compartment first, then press inward on both sides of the box with both hands to remove it entirely. Behind the textured cover lies the filter slot. I've noticed that post-2017 Bora models have slightly larger filter dimensions, so when purchasing online, make sure to verify the compatible model year. Avoid using excessive force to pull the cover, as the clips can break easily. It's best to replace the filter before using the AC in summer – the improvement in filtering out willow catkins is immediate, and I personally experienced much smoother breathing.

The cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Three-step removal process: Empty the glove box → Squeeze both sides of the compartment to release hooks → Remove the filter cover plate. Remember to wear gloves during operation as old filters accumulate dust that may cause allergies. New filters feel stiffer when pinched - install with the arrow pointing toward the rear of the vehicle. DIY replacement costs only 30 yuan, while dealerships charge three times more. Replacing before rainy season effectively prevents AC odors.
