Where is the air filter located in the 2018 Magotan?

Located under the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below are specific details about the Magotan: 1. The Magotan originates from the FutureB6, which is closely related to the Passat B6, and is the first B-class sedan produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment. 2. "Mai" symbolizes confidence, decisiveness, and dynamism; "Teng" represents soaring, surpassing, and passion. 3. Starting from the B6, the latest Volkswagen B-class cars began production at FAW-Volkswagen, known as the Magotan series. 4. At the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the seventh generation of Volkswagen's B-class car was officially unveiled. The B7 continued to be introduced to the domestic market by FAW-Volkswagen and retained the name Magotan. To meet consumers' demand for comfort, the B7 was also natively lengthened, referred to by the media as the Magotan B7L, or the all-new Magotan.
I've been driving a 2018 Magotan for several years. The cabin air filter is located in the footwell area on the passenger side. You'll need to open the glove box first, where there are plastic clips or screws to remove. Then you'll see a white box - that's where the filter sits. Changing it yourself is quite simple: prepare a new filter (just spend a few dozen yuan for a genuine one), pull out the old one and insert the new one. Remember to replace it every 10,000-20,000 km. Otherwise, accumulated dust will cause unpleasant odors from the AC, leading to poor air quality while driving and making you prone to sneezing and coughing. Regular maintenance of this filter can extend your AC system's lifespan and save you money on dealership visits.
As a first-timer doing car maintenance, I can confirm the air filter for the 2018 Magotan is indeed located under the front passenger seat. I just replaced it last week: crouch beside the seat, open the glove compartment to locate the bottom screws and clips, carefully remove them to expose the filter housing where the old filter can be directly taken out and replaced. Be careful not to damage the plastic parts - it took me about 10 minutes and the air feels much fresher now. This component needs checking every 6-12 months, as clogging affects AC efficiency and makes summer driving more uncomfortable. Timely replacement ensures family health.
