Where is the air filter element located in the Sagitar?
2 Answers
The air filter element in the Sagitar is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The removal method is as follows: 1. Open the glove compartment and remove any items inside; 2. Release the clips on both sides of the glove compartment and remove it; 3. Remove the cover of the air filter element; 4. Take out the old air filter element for replacement. The functions of the air filter element include: 1. Filtering the air entering the cabin; 2. Absorbing moisture from the air; 3. Maintaining clean air and preventing bacterial growth. Taking the 2021 Sagitar ZhiLian version as an example, its body dimensions are: 3564mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm.
The air filter for the Volkswagen Sagitar is usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Specifically, you need to open the glove compartment first and check for any clips or screws inside. Once removed, you can see the slot for the filter. I've owned several Sagitar models, including older and newer versions, and the location is generally designed this way for easy self-replacement. After changing the filter, the air inside the car becomes much fresher, especially in areas with heavy wind and dust like northern regions. I recommend checking it every 10,000 kilometers—a dirty filter can cause unpleasant odors from the AC and even affect cooling efficiency. Before starting, make sure to have a new filter and tools ready. There are video tutorials online, and the job usually takes about ten minutes. Be careful not to apply too much force and damage the plastic parts. Experienced drivers find this task quite simple, and doing regular maintenance yourself can save a lot of money.
