Where is the cabin air filter located in the Volkswagen Passat?
1 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Volkswagen Passat is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. There is an external cover panel that needs to be removed by unscrewing two plastic screw fasteners. Once the panel is removed, you will see a rectangular cabin air filter cover. Pull it horizontally following the arrow direction to remove the filter. Additional information: 1. Maintenance: If the filter is dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the reverse side. Hold the air nozzle about 5cm away from the filter and blow at 500kPa pressure for approximately 2 minutes. The cabin air filter tends to accumulate dust, and compressed air can effectively remove loose particles. 2. Precautions: The activated carbon filtration function in the cabin air filter diminishes over time. It is recommended to have the filter replaced by a professional at an authorized 4S service center.
