Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Golf VII?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter in the Golf VII is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. You can replace the air conditioning filter by removing the glove compartment. The air conditioning filter is an important component of the car's air conditioning system and needs to be replaced regularly. If the air conditioning filter is not replaced for a long time, its filtering ability will decrease, which can harm the health of the passengers. The body dimensions of the Golf VII are 4255mm, 1799mm, and 1452mm, respectively. It is equipped with an EA211 series 1.6L engine. Although the displacement remains the same as the Golf VI, the engine's power parameters have changed. The 1.6L engine has a maximum power of 81kw and a maximum torque of 155nm, paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Golf VII for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The first time I changed it, I was a bit confused, but you just need to gently press the clips on both sides to remove the entire glove box. Inside, there's a plastic cover that you can flip open to reveal the filter. After replacing it, the air in the car instantly became fresher, reducing odors and pollen, which is especially helpful during allergy season. It's recommended to replace the filter every 10,000 kilometers or once a year—it's not expensive, just a few dozen yuan, and doing it yourself saves money. Watch a tutorial a couple of times, and once you get the hang of it, you can finish the job in five minutes. Just remember to wear gloves to keep your hands clean from dust, and use simple tools—don't force anything to avoid breaking the clips. Regular maintenance extends the life of your AC system and makes driving more comfortable.
