Where is the cabin air filter located in a Volkswagen Bora?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in a Volkswagen Bora is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Open the engine hood, remove the 4 screws on the baffle plate, and lift the baffle to reveal the cabin air filter. The specific steps to locate the Volkswagen Bora cabin air filter are as follows: 1. Above the passenger footwell, there is a black plastic panel with two retractable clips. Press them to remove the panel. 2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal, then remove the body control module and its mounting bracket (secured by two 12mm nuts). 3. Remove the panel on the left side of the passenger footwell (secured by four screws) to access the Volkswagen Bora cabin air filter.
I've been driving for over a decade and am very familiar with the Bora. Its cabin air filter is usually located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you'll see a cover secured with plastic clips or screws. Gently pry them open to access the filter. The position is designed for easy replacement, so DIY is no problem, but be careful not to pull too hard and break the clips, or you'll have to pay for repairs. I recommend replacing it every 1-2 years or after about 15,000 kilometers - more frequently in areas with poor air quality to maintain better AC performance. Opt for genuine OEM filters for reliability; activated carbon filters can even capture PM2.5 particles, which is beneficial for health. Checking the filter's cleanliness during routine maintenance saves both money and hassle.
