Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Cabin air filter

Obtain a pollen filter of the same model identical to the original. The pollen filter removes impurities from the cabin air and is located under the dashboard on the passenger side. To access it, you need to remove the screws from the cover. Lift the cover and pull it down. Once the filter cover is removed, take out the filter from its housing by pulling it down carefully to avoid dust dispersal. To collect the dirt, place a cloth on the floor. Reinsert the new filter into the housing, ensuring it is positioned correctly, and close the cover and housing with the screws.
