The cabin air filter of the Volkswagen Bora is located in the drainage panel on the left side of the scuttle panel under the hood. Remove the screws and pull out the trim panel to access the cabin air filter. Here is more information about this vehicle: 1. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Bora as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, a wheelbase of 2688mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a curb weight of 1245kg. 2.

I've been driving a Volkswagen Bora for five years, and the cabin air filter is located under the passenger seat, in that small space. You'll need to crouch down or move the floor mat aside to spot a rectangular plastic cover, which can be pried open by hand or with a small tool. Inside lies the filter itself, likely grayish-white in color—replacing it will give you fresh air to breathe. Remember to change it once a year, especially during spring when pollen is abundant, to keep the car from feeling stuffy. If you delay replacement, dust buildup can make the AC louder and produce odd odors. The replacement process is quite simple; just look up a tutorial online, and you can finish it in ten minutes. Don't put it off too long to avoid discomfort during flu season.

I enjoy doing some car maintenance myself, and the Volkswagen Bora's cabin air filter setup is quite thoughtful—it's conveniently hidden under the dashboard in front of the passenger seat. To be precise, it’s located in the footwell area, secured by a small cover. Just lift it to access the filter housing. For replacement, grab a screwdriver or flathead, gently pry open the plastic clips, pull out the old filter, and slide in the new one. It’s recommended to check it every 10,000 km to prevent odors from affecting health. The tools are easy to find, and the difficulty level is low—don’t worry about the hidden location. After swapping in a fresh filter, the car instantly feels fresher, and even fuel consumption stabilizes a bit.

The cabin air filter is located under the passenger seat, behind the dashboard, in a quite visible position. Just crouch down and look, you can easily access the filter housing by opening the cover. Volkswagen's design is user-friendly and doesn't interfere with driving functions. Replacement frequency depends on the environment - in dusty urban areas, changing it twice a year is sufficient. The operation is straightforward, even beginners can handle it without worry.

How to Deal with Water Accumulation in Focus Carpet?

During the design process of the sunroof, this issue was also considered. Therefore, when the car is new, the rubber plug of the sunroof drainage pipe should be removed to reduce the risk of drainage pipe blockage. If the sunroof leaks and causes water accumulation in the carpet, first assess the severity of the water accumulation. Since there is usually a thick layer of soundproofing cotton beneath the carpet, it is difficult to dry once it gets wet. Lower all windows to the lowest position, open the sunroof and all doors to ensure the best air circulation inside the car, and leave it exposed to the scorching sun for several days. If the weather is cloudy and there is no sunlight for exposure, use a blower at a certain distance, alternately applying cold and hot air to dry the wet area. If the water accumulation is severe and you cannot resolve it yourself, then you have no choice but to take the car to a professional auto detailing shop and let the professionals handle it.

How to Remove the Steering Wheel of an Old Jetta?

Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees, with the hole on the back facing upward. Insert a flat-head screwdriver, preferably a bent one, horizontally along the upper edge of the hole. Above a horizontal wire, there is a wire securing the airbag. Press this wire downward, then pull the airbag outward to remove it. Turn the steering wheel to the 90-degree position again. Use a small screwdriver to pry open the airbag clips under the steering wheel—there are two in total, one on each side—then the steering wheel can be removed. Reassembly is done in reverse order: 3-2-1.

How to Deal with Sticky Jaguar Buttons?

First, clean with automotive-specific cleaning solution. You can try using alcohol-based substances for cleaning (depending on the dashboard material). If certain solvents (such as perfume or other liquids) have spilled and cannot be cleaned by the above methods, it is necessary to first understand the material of the dashboard and use caution. If cleaning is impossible through various methods (such as when solvents have chemically reacted with the dashboard), the only solution is to have the dashboard professionally refinished. Considering the high cost, if cleaning thoroughly is impossible or the repair cost is too high, it is recommended to replace the part with a new one.

How to Solve the Squeaking Noise When Engaging Reverse Gear in a Sedan?

If you engage the reverse gear without bringing the car to a complete stop, it can easily lead to gear grinding. Therefore, when shifting into reverse, make sure to firmly press the brake and bring the car to a full stop before engaging the gear. When depressing the clutch to shift gears, ensure the clutch is fully pressed down. Engaging reverse gear while the clutch is still partially engaged can also cause gear grinding. When reversing, avoid excessive speed and refrain from aggressively pressing the accelerator for sudden acceleration, as this can cause significant damage to the straight-cut gears. Additionally, the power transmission of straight-cut gears is very direct and lacks smoothness, so reversing at high speeds can cause considerable discomfort to passengers inside the car.

What are the precautions for changing tires?

Precautions for changing tires: 1. When replacing, choose tires with the same specifications as the original vehicle assembly; 2. Replace two tires at the same time, and after replacement, each wheel must be rebalanced to ensure the mass distribution of the entire assembly is very uniform; 3. After changing tires, the aging cycles of the new tires and the valve stems differ, and valve stem issues may arise and are not easily detected. It is recommended to replace the valve stems when changing tires; 4. If using the original vehicle tires, follow the manufacturer's installation requirements. For non-original tires, the side with the production date should generally face outward.
