Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the distinction between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter is essential for maintaining a healthy, efficient 2020 Volkswagen Jetta. The engine air filter prevents particulates from entering the intake tract, protecting the turbocharger and combustion chambers, and helping sustain the 228-horsepower output and 258 lb-ft of torque drivers expect. The cabin air filter keeps pollen, dust, and pollutants from circulating inside the vehicle, improving passenger comfort and HVAC efficiency. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, we recommend inspecting both filters at regular intervals and replacing them with OEM-quality parts to preserve performance and avoid downstream repairs. Our service team explains the benefits of each replacement, including immediate improvements in throttle response and cabin air quality, as well as long-term savings from preserved engine health.
