Volkswagen Passat Cabin Air Filter keeps breathing air clean from dust, pollen, road debris, and odorous exhaust fumes, preventing these contaminants from entering the HVAC vents. The Cabin Air Filter is installed in the outside-air intake that brings air to the heating and cooling system, and its operation is based on densely pleated paper media that capture tiny particles and at the same time allow sufficient air to get through to keep the airflow comfortable. The first generations of the vehicle applied a plain rectangular insert which is similar to an engine air cleaner, but subsequent models of Volkswagen applied custom shapes which follow the line of the cowl to seal better and achieve maximum surface area protection without wasting space. Whichever the style, the filter should be replaced at the intervals indicated in the owner's manual or even earlier if the car is mostly applied on dusty back roads, as a clogged filter can make the cabin reek of mold and cause the blower motor to work harder than necessary. Indications that your Volkswagen requires a check-up include a reduction of vent output or a stale smell when the fan is activated. Even though a handful of reusable mesh designs did emerge into the mainstream automotive market, all current Volkswagen passenger vehicles, including the new Passat, depend on disposable pleated media due to their ability to provide better filtration rates with the least amount of effort. Delaying the replacement may decrease the comfort of the passengers as well as the health of the HVAC in the long term, and carrying a new Cabin Air Filter is a cheap yet wise routine.
