The cabin air filter of the Jetta VS5 is located beneath the wiper guard panel under the right front windshield. After removal, you will see a semicircular-shaped cover - opening it reveals the cabin air filter. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. The Jetta VS5 has undergone comprehensive upgrades in comfort, technology, and convenience features based on consumer preferences. It comes equipped with multiple airbags, an active braking system, driver fatigue monitoring, ACC adaptive cruise control, driving mode selection, a power sunroof, leather-wrapped steering wheel, front seat heating, LED intelligent headlights, and other configurations. The richness of its features is sufficient to surpass many joint-venture brand models. 2. The Jetta VS5 also features a powertrain combination of 1.4T+6AT+rear independent suspension. Whether it's the MQ250 5MT transmission or the Aisin DQ250 6AT, both demonstrate smooth and effortless performance under Volkswagen's tuning. More importantly, the 1.4T+6AT combination completely alleviates consumer concerns about dual-clutch transmissions while balancing power, smoothness, and fuel efficiency. The Jetta VS5 shows thoughtful consideration in its powertrain selection.
The cabin air filter of the Jetta VS5 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. It's not difficult to remove but requires some technique. I've replaced it several times myself. First, open the glove compartment and lift it upwards firmly to detach it. Then you'll see a rectangular plastic cover behind it with clips on both sides - just pinch them towards the center with your fingers to open it. Remember to prepare a screwdriver for assistance. The filter slides in horizontally, so pay attention to the arrow direction to avoid installing it backwards. When pulling out the old filter, you'll notice it's extremely dusty. I recommend replacing it before seasonal changes. You can buy MAHLE or MANN filters of the same model online for just 30-40 yuan, much cheaper than at the dealership. It only takes about ten minutes to DIY, and the money saved can buy you a whole tank of gas - how great is that!
