 Filter How to (DIY) Install and Where it is Located')){kind=link}
EXACTLY as in video…
Thanks guys, very helpfull.
Golf mk4 2005 don't have pollen filters?
Thnx for the video. My Jetta's filter had a stench smell to it. Took it out and clear all the dust and insects. Added some perfume to the filter and no more stench smell when I switch on the air cond.
Thanks for the video! But how I remove the glove compartment at VW Touran 2004. Can you help me?
mk3 93-99.5 jetta 2.0l and 2.8l do not have cabin airfilters. but there is a place to put one. it is located under the hood next to the passenger side. there is a plastic cover with two tabs which can be removed. if you remove the plastic cover and airfilter from a mk4 it will fit exactly where the mk3 has a empty plastic cover on the passenger side near the window. now you have a cabin airfilter.
Thanks you saved my $25 in labour.
Simple and straightforward, good video!
would this be the same on a 2008 eos?
Thanks for the video. It's almost identical in the Tiguan. I took mine out today and vacuum cleaned it. Gotta check when it as last replaced but maybe I could squeeze another 10k on the same filter?
Thanks for the video! How often would you say it should be replaced? Of course it depends on air particles in the area, weather etc
Question: Anyone know how to set the RNS315 to have bluetooth media start playing on car startup instead of using the normal fm/am station?
Much thanks!
Thank you again!
Thank you kindly! Very helpful
Straight forward clear instructions thanks much.
Hey guys thank you for the videos ..! But for MK7 GTI is completely different the way it has to be replaced, is actually a little more complicated than Mk6 GTI ..!
How do you change the cabin airfilter in a mark 3 1998 vw glx Vr6 2.8l. can't find the filter.
Very helpful, I was done in five minutes!
So helpfull. Did this in 5 mins on a 2008 golf gt.
Thanks for the great guide!
you could have made an extra $3.99 to replace the two plastic retaining screws for the foam pad. thanks for the upload. I don't own a VW, but these videos are pretty universal.
Great video THANK YOU!
I did a cabin air install today on a 2013 Jetta. My replacement filter was paper on the edges. The one in the video appeared to be rubber. Anyway, the paper one I installed was not as flexible as the one with a rubber edge, and so, getting it up into the slot, well, it seemed I almost deformed it pushing it up into the hole.
The foam piece I put back fit correctly with the VW date facing away.
Excellent video ! ! To think I wasted 5 minutes of my life watching some guy's crappy (verticle) phone video of how to do this!!!
I have a 2013 Jetta SEL, is my Cabin air filter going to be located under the glove box as well?
Is this the same for a 2007 Volkswagen rabbit?
