Introduction

Maintaining the air quality inside your Volkswagen ID.3 is essential for a comfortable and healthy driving experience. One of the key components in ensuring clean air is the cabin air filter. Over time, this filter can become clogged with dust, pollen, and other pollutants, reducing its effectiveness. To keep your vehicle’s air fresh and clean, it’s recommended to replace the cabin air filter every 20,000 kilometers or once a year, ideally before springtime. This guide will walk you through the steps to replace the cabin air filter in your VW ID.3, ensuring you can breathe easy on every journey.

    • Remove the cabin air filter by pulling it out towards yourself.

    • When installing the new filter, it is important to install it the right way around, with the arrows on its side pointing downwards.

    • You might want to write the current date and mileage on the side of the new filter with a permanent marker. This makes it easier to keep track of replacement cycles.

Conclusion

To install the new filter, follow these instructions in reverse order.
