Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your Volkswagen Golf 7 in top condition. One often overlooked but essential part of this maintenance routine is changing the cabin air filter. The cabin air filter helps keep the air inside your vehicle fresh and clean, and it should be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or at least once a year. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of changing the cabin filter on your Golf 7, ensuring you can keep breathing clean air during your drives.

What You’ll Need:

  • New cabin air filter
  • Philips screwdriver
  • Torx 25 screwdriver
  • Flathead screwdriver

Step 1: Locate the Cabin Air Filter Housing

The cabin air filter housing on the Golf 7 is located behind the glove compartment. To access it, open the glove box and remove all items from inside.

Step 2: Remove the Glove Box

Using a Philips screwdriver, carefully remove the screws securing the glove box to the dashboard. Once the screws are removed, gently pull the glove box towards you to detach it from the dashboard.

Step 3: Remove the Cabin Air Filter Housing Cover

With the glove box removed, you will now see the cabin air filter housing. Locate the housing cover, which is held in place by four Torx 25 screws. Use the appropriate screwdriver to remove these screws and carefully take off the housing cover.

Step 4: Replace the Old Cabin Air Filter

You will now see the old cabin air filter inside the housing. Carefully remove the old filter and dispose of it properly. Take the new cabin air filter and insert it into the housing, making sure it fits snugly.

Step 5: Reassemble the Cabin Air Filter Housing

Place the housing cover back onto the cabin air filter housing and fasten it with the four Torx 25 screws. Ensure the cover is securely in place.

Step 6: Reattach the Glove Box

Gently slide the glove box back into its original position on the dashboard. Use the Philips screwdriver to reattach the screws and secure the glove box in place.

Step 7: Test the New Cabin Air Filter

Turn on your Golf 7’s air conditioning system and set it to the highest fan speed. Check the airflow to ensure it is coming through the vents correctly and that there are no unusual odors. If everything is functioning as expected, congratulations! You have successfully changed the cabin air filter on your Golf 7.

Remember to keep track of the date and mileage of the cabin filter replacement for future reference. Regularly changing the cabin air filter will help maintain the air quality inside your vehicle and contribute to a more comfortable driving experience.
