Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

\n

The 2016 Volkswagen Touareg relies on two distinct filtration systems that serve different purposes yet work together to protect vehicle performance and passenger comfort. The engine air filter preserves the 3.6L V6 by keeping abrasive particles out of the intake, which helps retain the Touareg's 280 horsepower and protects combustion components from premature wear. The cabin air filter improves interior air quality by trapping dust, pollen, and road pollutants before they reach passengers. Maintaining both filters is essential: a clogged engine filter reduces fuel efficiency and power, while a saturated cabin filter diminishes HVAC performance and occupant comfort. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our factory-trained technicians inspect both during routine maintenance, provide clear written findings, and recommend OEM replacements only when necessary. We offer transparent pricing, documented service that preserves warranty coverage, and convenient online tools to schedule service or view current service specials so you can address needs quickly and affordably.
