To prevent dirt and dust from circulating in the ventilation system of the Volkswagen Polo's cabin, a filter has been installed on the intake of outside air that must be replaced every fifteen thousand kilometers. To change it, we position ourselves in the front passenger seat, under the glove compartment, next to the central tunnel, where we find a vertically mounted cover.

After removing the cover, we find the old filter element. We remove it and insert a new filter, making sure to respect the correct direction of airflow.

We close the plastic cover.
