Replacing the Cabin Air Filter in a Volkswagen Up

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

To replace the cabin air filter in a Volkswagen Up, first locate the housing inside the vehicle. In this case, find the filter housing on the passenger side, beneath the glove compartment, on the left. Once you have located the filter seat, open the housing cover by pressing the two latches from the outside inwards (as shown in the images). Pull the cover downwards and you can remove the pollen filter from its seat by simply pulling it out. Now proceed to insert the new filter, ensuring it is oriented in the only possible way (as indicated in the video).
