Where is the air conditioning filter of Volkswagen Santana located?
2 Answers
The air conditioning filter of Volkswagen Santana is located above the glove box on the driver's side. After removing the plastic panel, unscrew the screw at the end of the glove box and remove the cover plate to see the air conditioning filter. The functions of the air conditioning filter are: 1. Provide fresh air; 2. Ensure safety and hygiene; 3. Adsorb harmful substances; 4. Filter solid impurities. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Santana as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a composite torsion beam non-independent suspension, equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 112ps, a maximum power of 82kw, and a maximum torque of 145nm, matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Santana for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, which is quite easy to find. When removing the glove box, you need to unscrew the two screws at the bottom and then gently push off the clips. The filter is hidden inside, usually in a square-shaped filter box. I've replaced it several times myself. Changing it during summer when there's a lot of pollen helps freshen the air in the car, preventing weird smells when the AC is on. If you're not handy with DIY, a quick visit to an auto repair shop can get it done in about ten minutes. Don't underestimate this filter—changing it regularly makes long drives more comfortable. It's recommended to check it every 10,000 kilometers, saving money and preventing allergies.
