Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2017 Volkswagen Beetle helps you prioritize maintenance. The engine air filter protects the motor by keeping abrasive particles from entering the intake, preserving horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency — especially important for the Beetle’s 1.8T turbocharged engine. The cabin air filter protects occupants by filtering pollen, odors, and particulates from the HVAC system. Both filters contribute to vehicle longevity: a clean engine filter reduces wear on sensors and components, while a clean cabin filter reduces HVAC strain and interior contamination. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood we inspect both filters during routine service, use OEM parts, and document the condition so you know when replacement makes sense.
