Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The distinction between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen is simple but important. The engine air filter protects the 1.8L turbocharged inline-4 from particulates that reduce airflow and throttle response; maintaining a clean engine filter preserves the turbocharger, helps sustain the rated 168 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque, and maximizes city and highway MPG. The cabin air filter keeps pollen, dust, and road odors out of the passenger compartment so every drive in Lakewood is more comfortable and healthier for occupants. Both filters are preventative components that extend the life of systems they protect — the engine and HVAC — and ignoring them increases wear and service costs. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood, our technicians inspect both filters during routine visits, use OEM parts for perfect fit and filtration, and clearly explain the benefits and savings. To protect performance and comfort, schedule service with our team and ask about current service specials.
