The air conditioning filter of the Volkswagen Touareg is located behind the glove box. Below are the steps to replace the Touareg's air conditioning filter: 1. Remove the glove box and the protective panel below it. Gently pull the panel, as there is a connection wire for the footwell light behind it. Remember to disconnect the footwell light wire when removing the panel. 2. Remove the cover of the air filter by pressing the clips on both sides to release the cover. 3. After removing the air filter cover, take out the old air filter and replace it with a new one. 4. Reinstall the cover and the protective panel, paying special attention to reconnecting the footwell light wire.
I found that the cabin air filter of the Volkswagen Touareg is located behind the glove compartment on the front passenger side. Open the glove box and you'll see a plastic cover - some models require removing a few screws to access it, where the filter is housed. Last time I replaced the filter was in spring when the AC started emitting a musty smell. Upon opening, I discovered heavy dust accumulation that could easily clog airflow and impair cooling efficiency. The replacement process is quite simple - no professional tools needed, just a screwdriver will do. I recommend changing it every 10,000+ kilometers or annually to maintain fresh cabin air and prevent bacterial growth. This is especially crucial when driving in dusty areas to avoid aggravating colds or allergies.
