The Importance of Your Engine Air Filter

Volkswagen engines need three things to make combustion happen: air, fuel and a way to ignite said fuel once it’s in the combustion chamber. As air makes its way into the engine, so can dust, road debris, and a host of other contaminants. The Volkswagen engine air filter located in your vehicle’s air filter housing is designed to block these contaminants from entering the engine while letting fresh air through. Air filters are an absolute necessity since your Volkswagen’s engine can suck up to 10,000 gallons of air for each gallon of fuel it consumes.

The Right Time for a New Engine Air Filter

Dirty air can easily compromise engine performance, which is why your Volkswagen needs a fresh engine air filter whenever its existing filter requires replacement. The more you drive your VW sedan, hatchback or SUV, the filthier your engine air filter gets. We recommend changing your air filter according to the maintenance schedule listed in your vehicle owner’s manual. In most cases, you should change your air filter every 12,000 miles or more frequently if you drive on dusty roads, for example.
