How to replace the cabin filter of a Volkswagen Polo 5R

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Cabin air filter

In this video we will see how to change the cabin air filter, which is located on the passenger side (with the guide on the left). We empty the glove compartment: the compartment is held by two side pins that act as hinges, we firmly grip it and pull it towards us decisively, without being afraid to pull, because this is the method to remove them from their seat. On the right side we will see a rectangular plastic housing, which is the cabin compartment. We remove the cover and take out the old filter, being careful not to drop dirt and debris into the housing of the air conditioning system, which is right underneath. We clean the compartment well from dust and residue and put in the new filter, paying attention to the direction of the flow. We close the cap and reassemble the glove compartment, reattaching the hinges in their seats.

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
