Where is the Octavia's cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
The Octavia's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The specific location and removal method are as follows: 1. Open the passenger door and the glove compartment; 2. Push up the plastic limit buckle on the glove compartment to release it; 3. Unfasten the clips on the cabin air filter cover, open the cover, and then you can remove the cabin air filter. In terms of interior, the Octavia offers two color options: brown and black. The steering wheel color changes according to the interior color, and the leather-wrapped design is also very premium and textured. In terms of configuration, the Octavia comes standard with body stability system, hill start assist, tire pressure monitoring, and auto start-stop function. However, some previously optional configurations for mid-range models, such as LED headlights, black roof mirrors, and 17-inch wheels, have become exclusive to the top-end version in the new model.
In the Octavia, the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and finding it is actually quite simple. I own an older Octavia model myself—after opening the glove box, you'll notice clips or knobs on both sides. Gently twist or press them to release, and the entire inner panel of the glove box can be removed. Pull it downward, and you'll see a long rectangular cover. Open that cover to slide out the filter for replacement. A quick tip: make sure to buy the correct filter model—brands like Mann or Bosch work well—to avoid mismatches. It’s best to replace it before switching on the heater in winter, roughly every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers, to prevent dust and pollen buildup that could affect cabin air quality, especially for those with allergies. DIY replacement saves both money and hassle, taking less than ten minutes.
