The cabin air filter in the Volkswagen Lamando is located in the storage compartment under the windshield on the front passenger side. The steps to remove the cabin air filter in the Volkswagen Lamando are as follows: 1. First, open the glove box cover. Locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove box and pull it outward firmly. 2. Remove the fixing buckle of the glove box cover to detach it. 3. Squeeze both sides of the glove box inward with both hands, and the glove box can then be removed. 4. After removing the glove box, you will see the cabin air filter cover. Press firmly on the fixing buckles on both sides of the cover to remove it. 5. Pull the old cabin air filter outward to remove it.
I remember when I first bought my Volkswagen Lamando, I was eager to locate the cabin air filter. It's positioned behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. To replace it, you'll first need to open and empty the glove box, removing all contents inside. Then, locate the plastic clips on both sides—pressing them will release the entire glove box, allowing it to hang down. This reveals a rectangular cover panel; pry it open with some force to pull out the old filter and slide in the new one. DIY is quite straightforward, with plenty of tutorial videos on YouTube. Don’t skip this—last time I replaced mine, the airflow improved significantly, eliminating that musty odor. Driving to work felt much fresher, and I saved hundreds compared to a dealership visit. It’s recommended to check every six months, especially in humid southern climates—a clogged filter reduces cooling efficiency and increases fuel consumption.
