Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf is about function and protection: the engine air filter safeguards the turbocharged 1.8L inline engine by preventing dirt and particulates from entering the intake, which preserves horsepower, torque, and fuel economy; the cabin air filter protects passengers by filtering pollen, dust, and airborne contaminants before they enter the HVAC system. Both filters are small but play large roles in comfort and longevity. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters as part of routine maintenance and recommend OEM replacements when necessary. Choosing dealer service delivers documented work, warranty protection, and the confidence that any warranty-covered repairs are performed at a certified dealership.
