Where is the Lamando's cabin air filter located?

The Lamando's cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. You can access it by removing the glove box. The cabin air filter is a component installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system that absorbs dust particles, reduces respiratory discomfort, minimizes irritation for allergy sufferers, and protects the air conditioning cooling system. The Lamando is a compact car launched by SAIC Volkswagen, which the company defines as the 'first wide-body coupe.' It is built on the MQB platform, equipped with EA888 TSI and EA211 TSI engines, and features a wet 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In terms of dimensions, the Lamando measures 4599mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1425mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2656mm.

Last time I replaced the Lamando's cabin air filter, I found it's located right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to first open the glove box and press the clips on both sides to lower it. Then you'll see a plastic cover with an arrow mark - gently pry it open with a screwdriver to pull out the old filter. Remember to install the new filter with the arrow pointing in the correct direction. This spot is quite hidden; it took me half an hour the first time, but with practice it only takes about ten minutes. I recommend checking it during seasonal changes between spring and summer, especially during seasons with lots of willow catkins. A clogged filter reduces AC airflow and increases fuel consumption. Buying and replacing the filter yourself saves 200-300 yuan compared to doing it at the dealership. Just be careful not to force the glove box damper rod - the plastic parts can break easily.

As a DIY-savvy car owner, I'm quite familiar with the location of the Lamando's cabin air filter. The filter cover is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, press the left and right clips of the glove box to lay it completely flat. Lift the rectangular plastic cover inside, and you'll find the filter secured in the sliding slot. Remember to use your phone's flashlight during the operation—working in the dark makes it easy to install it backward. Once, I forgot to turn off the AC before removing it, and the blower scattered dust everywhere. Now I always remember to turn off the engine before replacing it. I recommend choosing an activated carbon filter—it costs about 20 yuan more but significantly reduces odors, making the cabin air much fresher during highway drives.

Just helped a friend replace the Lamando's cabin air filter, located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Press down the plastic clips on both sides to lower the glove box, then simply unclip the white cover inside. Remember there are upper and lower filter pieces—don’t miss either, and ensure the arrow points toward the rear of the car. Found that 30% of owners have never changed the filter, leading to moldy evaporators that require dashboard removal for cleaning, costing around a thousand bucks. DIY replacement costs just 50 yuan for the filter—buy Mann or Mahle brands at auto parts stores, just double-check the model number. After replacement, spray some AC cleaner and ventilate for five minutes for better odor removal.
