Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter for your 2010 Volkswagen CC is essential to preserving both vehicle performance and passenger comfort.

The cabin air filter, in contrast, captures pollen, particulates, and odors that enter the HVAC system so occupants breathe cleaner air. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters during routine service and recommend OEM replacements that meet Volkswagen specifications. Regular maintenance of both filters avoids premature wear, helps sustain fuel efficiency, and reduces long-term repair costs.
