Where is the cabin air filter located in the Volkswagen Sagitar?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Volkswagen Sagitar is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to remove the glove compartment. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. Provide fresh air for the vehicle interior; 2. Ensure safety and hygiene inside the vehicle; 3. Adsorb harmful substances; 4. Filter solid particles in the air. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Sagitar as an example, its body structure is a four-door, five-seater sedan with the following dimensions: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2731mm, minimum ground clearance 108mm, and curb weight 1355kg.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Sagitar for several years, and the cabin air filter is usually located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. I've replaced it myself several times. First, you need to empty the glove box, then find and unscrew the screws at the bottom, or for some models, there's a clip on the side of the glove box—just press it to remove the glove box, and behind it is the filter slot. When you take out the old filter, you often find it full of dust and pollen, which explains why the air from the AC had a weird smell before. Replacing it with a new one makes a big difference—the air feels much fresher, and driving in the summer is more comfortable. I recommend changing it once a year, especially during spring when there's a lot of pollen. A fresh filter keeps the air in the car healthier and helps avoid respiratory issues. Also, make sure not to install it backward—the arrow should point in the direction of airflow, or it won't work as well. Doing it yourself saves money—you can buy a filter online for just a few dozen yuan, while a repair shop might charge you a hundred or two. It's not hard to try it yourself.
