The cabin air filter of SAIC Volkswagen Passat is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below are some relevant details about the Passat's cabin air filter: 1. If there is still an unpleasant odor or the air inside the car remains stale after cleaning or tidying up the interior, it may be time to replace the cabin air filter. 2. It is recommended to replace the cabin air filter after driving 20,000 kilometers. If the local air environment is particularly harsh, with frequent sandstorms or smog, it can be replaced earlier, at around 10,000 kilometers. 3. Generally, the cabin air filter should be replaced every 7,000 to 10,000 kilometers. If the local air quality is very poor, it is advisable to replace it sooner. The product is designed to function effectively within the specified mileage range.
As a seasoned driver who has owned a SAIC Volkswagen Passat for many years, I'm well aware that the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove box, you'll need to empty its contents first. There are usually clips or fastening points at the bottom of the glove compartment – just press gently to remove it. Then you'll see a plastic cover plate; pry it open to reveal the filter slot. The position is standard and the design is user-friendly for easy operation. For DIY replacement, I recommend doing it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year – more frequently during heavy pollution and smog seasons in our big cities. When I replace mine, I buy genuine brand filters for just a few dozen yuan, which is very cost-effective. After replacement, the air from the AC comes out clean and odor-free, making breathing much smoother while driving. Developing this habit is great for health as it prevents bacterial allergies, plus it saves on maintenance costs. Anyone with decent DIY skills can handle it – each replacement takes about ten minutes, making it both convenient and effective.
