Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Volkswagen Bora?

The air conditioning filter in the Volkswagen Bora is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below is some information about the car's air conditioning filter: 1. The replacement cycle for a car's air conditioning filter depends on the owner's driving conditions. Generally, for urban household cars, it should be replaced every six months or once a year. 2. If the car is frequently driven on dusty roads, more dust will enter the vehicle, which will accelerate the filter's contamination, necessitating earlier replacement. Additionally, the frequency of air conditioning use in different seasons can also affect the replacement cycle.

I've changed the cabin air filter on my Volkswagen Bora several times myself. It's located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. First, you need to remove about six hex screws at the bottom of the glove compartment, then the entire glove box can be lowered down. You'll see a black plastic cover - gently unclip the fasteners, and the old filter will be lying inside. Note that the filter has a front and back side - the arrow should point towards the front of the car when inserting it. For DIY replacement, just prepare a T20 screwdriver. Buying the filter online only costs about 20-30 RMB, much cheaper than at the dealership. It takes just ten minutes and helps prevent AC odors.

Last time during the maintenance at the 4S shop, I specifically observed the technician's operation. The air filter location of the Bora is indeed quite hidden. You need to empty the glove compartment first, then lie down to see the fixing screws at the bottom. After removing the screws, the glove compartment can be flipped down by 45 degrees. At this point, reach inside to feel for the rectangular cover plate. It's recommended to choose a new filter with activated carbon, which, although more expensive, offers better filtration. It might be a bit challenging for women to operate on their own, so it's best to have family members help hold the glove compartment. Remember to replace it every six months or 10,000 kilometers, especially during seasons with abundant willow catkins in the north, as a clogged filter can affect the air conditioning airflow.

The cabin air filter is located above the footwell on the passenger side. Removal involves three steps: empty the storage compartment, unscrew six T20 Torx screws, and press the release clips on both sides of the glove box. Filters come in single-efficiency and dual-efficiency variants, with post-2020 models featuring a removable frame design for easier replacement. When DIY replacing, pay attention to the directional arrow on the filter - installing it backwards renders the replacement ineffective. For drivers frequently traversing construction sites or sandy areas, adding a layer of window screen mesh over the filter can extend its service life. This minor maintenance task is perfect for DIY, with labor cost savings enough to cover half a tank of fuel.
