Where is the air filter of the Volkswagen Lamando located?
2 Answers
The air filter of the Volkswagen Lamando is located inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. Functions of the air filter: 1. When the car is running with the air conditioning on, it needs to draw in external air into the cabin. However, the air contains various particles such as dust, pollen, soot, grinding particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. 2. Without the air filter, once these particles enter the cabin, they not only pollute the car's air conditioning and reduce the performance of the cooling system, but also cause allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and the influence of odors, all of which affect driving safety. 3. A high-quality air filter can absorb fine particles, reduce respiratory pain, minimize irritation for allergy sufferers, enhance driving comfort, and protect the air conditioning cooling system.
The air filter for the Volkswagen Lamando is located above the footwell on the passenger side. You need to open the glove compartment first to find it. Last time I replaced mine, there was a clip on the glove compartment—just pull hard to remove or open it. Then, look inside, and you’ll see a rectangular cover, usually secured with a plastic tab. Pinch it to pull it off, and the air filter is inside. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes, and you only need a screwdriver or your hands—perfect for DIY, saving you tens of dollars in repair fees. It’s recommended to replace it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Opt for an activated carbon filter for better results—it not only filters dust and pollen but also reduces odors in the car, making the AC air fresher. Make sure to install it tightly to prevent air leaks. Easily done at home on weekends—don’t let the auto repair shop overcharge you.
