How to Remove the Cabin Air Filter on Volkswagen Up

Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Cabin air filter

To remove the cabin air filter on the Volkswagen Up, locate it at the bottom left of the glove compartment. Use a plastic lever to detach the cover located at the lower left of the dashboard. Obtain a screwdriver or a cordless drill (if there are securing screws), remove the cap from the filter housing, then extract the worn filter from the cabin. Insert a new cabin filter, ensuring it fits snugly against the walls of the housing, refit the cap of the filter housing, and tighten the screws. Check the correct installation of the previously mounted parts.
