2 Answers
The Bora's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. To provide fresh air; 2. To absorb harmful substances; 3. To filter solid impurities. Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase of 2688mm, fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, trunk capacity of 506 liters, and curb weight of 1320kg. The 2021 Bora is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, maximum torque of 200Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Last time I changed the air conditioning filter in my Volkswagen Bora, which is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, you first need to empty the glove compartment, find the side clips to pry open, and then lift it up to remove the glove compartment. The filter cover is behind it, and you can remove the old filter by unscrewing two screws. I've done it myself several times—it's cost-effective and convenient, with online filters costing just a few dozen yuan. Remember to change it every 20,000 kilometers; otherwise, accumulated dust can cause unpleasant odors from the AC, affecting the air quality inside the car. The Bora's design is quite user-friendly, even beginners can handle it as long as you don't force it during disassembly. After replacement, you immediately feel the air fresher, and the AC cooling improves significantly.
