To keep impurities and dust away from the ventilation circuit of the Volkswagen Golf, a specific filter has been installed on the intake, which must be replaced every fifteen thousand miles. To do this, position yourself in front of the glove compartment on the dashboard, open it, and detach the clips located on the sides of the internal compartment.

Rotate the drawer downwards; in the space that has been freed, you will find the filter cover. After opening it, remove the old filter element and replace it with a new one. Close the cover, insert the guide on the right side of the drawer, and reposition the clips.
