The engine air filter is located under the hood in the front of the engine. The air that is sucked in by the engine passes through this filter to help remove debris, leaves, dust, dirt, and other types of impurities that can cause damage to the engine and result in reduced engine efficiency. The inspection of the engine air filter takes only a couple of minutes, so we recommend you get the engine air filter checked every time you get an oil change service. At Nucar Volkswagen of Tilton, we stock genuine Volkswagen OEM engine air filters that offer superior fitting, performance, and longevity compared to the typical aftermarket filter available at independent service centers.
There are several factors that influence the life of the engine air filter. This includes the quality of the engine air filter; however, even Volkswagen OEM engine air filters are going to need a replacement service at some point, depending on driving conditions. You can expect to need a new engine air filter every 10,000 to 20,000 miles. In extremely clean driving conditions, you might be able to extend the service interval to 40,000 miles; however, you should be careful as driving with a clogged engine air filter is not only bad for the fuel economy, it can cause serious damage to the engine.
