How to Replace the Pollen Filter on a Volkswagen Polo

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

How do you replace the pollen filter on a Volkswagen Polo? Here’s how to proceed: use a plastic lever to detach the cover located at the bottom of the dashboard (left side under the steering wheel). Get a screwdriver or a cordless drill, remove the securing screws that hold the side cover of the tunnel (if present). Extract the worn cabin filter, insert a new cabin filter ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the box, reassemble the filter box cover and tighten the screws (cover everything with the trim). Check the correct installation of the previously mounted parts.
