Air is something we take for granted, even though it’s a vital part of our life. When we’re driving, we often forget about the pollen, pollution, dirt, and other debris in the air, and we can forget about it thanks to the cabin air filter. Sometimes, that filter gets dirty, and it starts letting through all those things you don’t want. It can even slow airflow from your vents because it can’t pull enough clean air through. When you need your cabin air filter replaced, Cooley Volkswagen is the place to go.
Your climate control pulls air in from the outside to blow warm or cool air at you, but it also pulls in everything that’s in the air. This can include dirt, dust, pollen, exhaust, pollution, even small bugs. To prevent you from breathing in everything that’s right in front of your car at the moment, you have a cabin air filter that stops all of those from going into the climate control system, so the air that’s blown on you is clean.
While your owner’s manual is always the best place to find out when to replace a cabin air filter, most experts say that the filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles or so. You can also replace the filter whenever you notice signs of a clogged filter, including weak air from the vents even at full fan speed or a foul smell coming from your climate control system.
We provide OEM parts for any replacement, including cabin air filters. An OEM part is a part that was designed to go in your car, sourced from Volkswagen themselves. Volkswagen tests these parts for quality and safety, so you know you’re getting a part that will perform exactly as Volkswagen meant it to perform in your car. OEM parts are covered under Volkswagen’s warranty, so any damages and repairs will still be covered in the scarce circumstance of part failure.
We all love to breathe fresh air, and your cabin air filter makes your car ride fresh every time you turn on the climate control. If you’re not sure if your air filter is dirty or not, you can bring it into our service center, and our certified technicians will take a look for you. We can help you replace it if needed or let you know how long your current one will last. Cooley Volkswagen in Rensselaer also serves Albany, Defreestville, Troy, and Menands.
