Where is the Bora's cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
Bora's cabin air filter is located on the passenger side. Commonly known as the pollen filter, its function is to filter the air entering the cabin from the outside, improving air cleanliness. The Bora is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen. Taking the 2021 Comfort Smart Link version as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4663 mm, width 1815 mm, height 1462 mm, with a wheelbase of 2688 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2021 Comfort Smart Link version of the Bora is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116 hp and a maximum power of 85 kW at 5000 rpm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a DIY enthusiast car owner, I've replaced the Bora's cabin air filter several times. It's hidden behind the glove box on the passenger side. The exact location is visible when you open the glove box - you'll see a screw-fixed cover at the bottom. After removing the cover panel, a rectangular filter slot is exposed. Just pull out the old one and insert the new one. This process is super simple, requiring only a Phillips screwdriver. I recommend replacing it every 10,000 km or once a year to maintain fresher air and better protection against pollen and dust. Avoid using off-brand parts - choose genuine OEM parts for better quality to prevent odor recurrence. Remember to handle gently to avoid damaging the plastic clips. I was a bit shaky during my first replacement, but with practice, I've become quite skilled at it.
