Learn how to remove the cabin air filter (pollen filter) on a Volkswagen Up. The cabin filter is located at the bottom right of the glove compartment. Use a plastic lever to detach the trim at the bottom left of the dashboard (plastic or fabric trim), remove the cap from the filter holder, then pull it out from its designated space.

Insert a new cabin filter, ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the box, and replace the cap of the filter box. Check the correct fitting of the previously installed parts.
