Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2022 Volkswagen Golf R relies on two distinct filters to protect performance and comfort. The engine air filter defends the turbocharged 2.0L inline engine from contaminants that can reduce horsepower, increase turbo wear, and harm fuel economy; a clean engine filter keeps the turbo spool crisp and power delivery consistent. The cabin air filter protects occupants by capturing pollen, road dust, and exhaust particulates before they enter the passenger compartment. Both filters are simple, cost-effective components that prevent larger—and more expensive—repairs. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters during service visits, explain findings in plain language, and install OEM-quality replacements when necessary. Choosing dealer service delivers reliable diagnostics, documented service records, and warranty protection—important for long-term value.
