Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI is simple but important: the engine filter protects mechanical performance while the cabin filter protects passengers and HVAC efficiency.

Both require inspection and timely replacement—neglecting either can lead to reduced performance, higher fuel use, or poor cabin air quality. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood, our technicians inspect both filters during service visits and provide straightforward recommendations using OEM parts to maintain manufacturer standards. We prioritize quick turnaround, clear estimates, and warranty-backed work.
