Where is the cabin air filter located in the Volkswagen CC?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Volkswagen CC is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The owner needs to lower their head into the footwell area below the passenger seat and look upwards to spot two plastic screws. After unscrewing these screws, the foam padding can be removed, revealing the lower cover of the cabin air filter. Push this cover towards the right side (in the direction of vehicle travel) until it reaches its limit, then the cabin air filter can be pulled out. The Volkswagen CC is a mid-size sedan produced by FAW-Volkswagen. In terms of body dimensions, the vehicle measures 4,812 mm in length, 1,855 mm in width, and 1,417 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,712 mm.
I've changed the air conditioning filter for my Volkswagen CC several times, and it's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box and emptying its contents, the glove box can either be fully lowered or the inner cover plate can be directly removed to reveal the filter slot. Remember to install the new filter in the correct direction—don't put it in backwards, or the airflow will be reduced. After replacement, the air inside the car feels much fresher. The musty smell when the AC was turned on before was due to the filter being clogged with dust and pollen. It's recommended to check it every year or every 15,000 kilometers—don't delay too long, otherwise inhaling dirty air isn't good for your health. If you're not familiar with DIY, there are tutorials online, and you just need to prepare a filter that costs about ten dollars.
