The pollen filter, also known as the cabin air filter, in the Volkswagen Polo 5, produced between 2009 and 2017, is located under the dashboard on the passenger side. Once the exact location of the box containing it has been identified, thanks to the video, all we have to do is remove the cover to access the filter, which can then be removed and replaced with a new one. To complete the operation, all that remains is to reposition the cover of the cabin air filter box in its place.

It is recommended to always replace the filter with a new one, without trying to clean it in any way.
