Instructions for Cabin Sanitisation

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Checks and maintenance

When replacing the cabin filter, it is always advisable to sanitise the cabin with a specific germicidal spray that not only disinfects the cabin but also fragrances it, preventing the typical unpleasant odour that emanates from the air vents when the air conditioning is first turned on. This occurs because condensation forms in the air ducts, leading to the growth of smelly mould. A great solution is to use the sanitising spray with a nozzle that can be inserted deep into each air vent while holding down the spray trigger during the withdrawal of the nozzle.
