How to Replace the Cabin Filter in a Volkswagen New Beetle

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 2, 9C - Years 1999-2012
Part: Cabin air filter

In this video tutorial, we can see how to replace the cabin filter in a Volkswagen New Beetle by following a few simple steps: the first thing to do is to purchase a new cabin filter from an authorised dealer; the next step is to get inside the vehicle, turn off the engine, and pull the handbrake. The cabin filter in this vehicle can be found inside, under the windscreen; remove the upper panel by applying slight pressure; using a T20 Torx spanner, remove the six screws of the lower panel; once the six screws are unscrewed, remove the panel and you will find the old filter element underneath; remove the old filter and clean the housing thoroughly. Position the new filter according to the airflow direction; reposition the previously removed panels.

We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
