2011 Volkswagen Jetta Air Filter in Tucson, AZ

Miller Volkswagen Tucson.

• Engine filter: intake housing in the engine bay
• Cabin filter: passenger-side HVAC area
• Inspection includes the filter housing and intake path

These filters perform different jobs and should be checked separately. A restricted engine filter can affect airflow, fuel economy, and throttle response. A loaded cabin filter can contribute to weak ventilation airflow or a dusty and musty smell from the vents.

• Engine filter protects the engine intake
• Cabin filter supports cleaner passenger-compartment air
• Both filters can be inspected during one service visit

• Dusty or musty odor inside the vehicle
