How to change the pollen filter on a Volkswagen Golf 5? Here’s how to do it. Using a plastic lever, detach the covering plastics located at the bottom of the dashboard (on the right side under the glove compartment). Unlock the plastic clips of the filter cap; extract the worn cabin filter, insert a new cabin filter ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the box, refit the filter box cap and secure the compartment with the cover cap (replace the covering plastic under the dashboard).

Check the correct installation of the previously fitted parts.
