The air filter of the new Santana is located on the right side of the engine compartment, which can be seen by opening the engine hood. The car's air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of two parts: the filter element and the housing. Its main advantages are high efficiency, low flow resistance, and the ability to be used continuously for a long time without maintenance. The Santana brand car is a model produced by Volkswagen in California, USA. The new Santana completely abandons the boxy styling of the 1970s seen in the old model, replacing it with a more modern and fashionable dynamic design, overall adopting the new appearance styling of the Volkswagen family.
I've been driving the new Santana for a while, and the location of the cabin air filter behind the glove compartment on the passenger side is very clear. You need to first open the glove box door, then squeeze the hook part inward to release it before you can see the filter housing. The recommended replacement interval is every 10,000-12,000 kilometers to prevent dust accumulation and odors from affecting driving comfort, especially on long trips. The DIY operation is simple and requires no tools, just be careful not to damage the plastic parts. The well-designed position makes maintenance convenient, ensuring fresh and comfortable air.
When replacing the air filter of the new Santana in the glove compartment on the passenger side, open the compartment and push the corner components to slide them down, exposing the filter for easy replacement. It is recommended to check every six months or 10,000 kilometers to ensure good air quality, prevent dust allergies, and make driving comfortable and hassle-free.
