Part: Cabin air filter

Learn how to change the cabin air filter on the Volkswagen Touran: the cabin filter is located on the passenger side, under the dashboard.

Clean the empty space left behind with a blast of compressed air to remove dust and dirt, then you can refit the filter: pay attention to the fitting direction. The arrows must always point downwards. Once correctly inserted, you can replace the cap and then the plastic cover. The job is complete.
