Where is the air filter of Volkswagen Polo located?
2 Answers
The air filter of Volkswagen Polo is located under the glove compartment on the passenger side. Push the two clips in the middle towards both sides, remove the cover, and you can take out the filter. The replacement method for the air filter of the new Volkswagen Polo is: 1. Push the buckle forward to remove the air filter cover; 2. Fit the air filter into the frame; 3. Insert the air filter diagonally into the air filter slot with the arrow on the frame facing towards the driver's seat. The Volkswagen Polo is a compact car with body dimensions of 4053mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2564mm. In terms of appearance, the Volkswagen Polo adopts a new family-style design concept, featuring a flat front grille and horizontal chrome trim for decoration, giving the car a refined front look.
After all these years of repairing cars, I can tell you that the air conditioning filter for the Volkswagen Polo is usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Before replacing it, you need to clear out any items in the glove box. Then, look for a plastic cover on the inside or bottom of the glove box—some models require a screwdriver to remove small screws, while others just need a press to pop it open, with the filter hidden inside. This design is for easy maintenance, preventing dust buildup from affecting cooling efficiency. I recall that the 2015 and later Polo models have this setup. If not replaced in time, the air inside the car can develop an odor, and the AC cooling performance deteriorates, especially in areas with poor air quality. On average, it should be checked or replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. With simple tools, you can do it yourself—saving money and ensuring safety.
