Replace old pollen filter with a new genuine VW pollen filter.
In today’s auto industry, manufacturers are choosing to design vehicles with cabin air filters. However, most car owners are completely unaware that their vehicle is even equipped with one and those who are aware are unsure of the appropriate intervals to replace it. You don’t have to fit in either of those categories. Fortunately, Bachman Volkswagen can help you understand the importance of replacing your cabin air filter and help establish the correct intervals for the recommended replacement.
You may be asking yourself what a cabin air filter does and why it’s chosen by auto manufacturers, to begin with. Due to the dangerous pollutants that are floating in the air, which have increased over the years, manufacturers have taken a proactive measure to help you protect yourself and your passengers. Pollutants such as pollen, mold spores, pet dander, allergens, smoke, and even dust, can cause respiratory issues, especially those who are more vulnerable to them like infants and the elderly. A cabin air filter is specifically designed to lessen the likelihood that those pollutants will enter the interior of your Volkswagen.
To determine if your cabin air filter needs to be replaced, it should be inspected by a factory-trained Volkswagen technician. Although the standard recommendation for replacing a cabin air filter is every 12,000 miles, there may be factors specific to your driving routine and route that may indicate a different replacement interval. For instance, if you typically drive more often on a dusty or dirty road, the air quality would be different from another driver who drives in Jeffersontown, Middletown, Lyndon, and Hurstbourne, KY neighborhoods. Therefore, we also recommended that you have your cabin air filter inspected between replacement intervals to ensure the air quality remains at the highest level possible.
Aside from having factory-trained and certified technicians who are extremely knowledgeable, our technicians will not only take the time to assess the current condition of the cabin air filter but also assess if any contributing factors are reducing the air quality of the interior. Our dealership exclusively uses Genuine OEM Parts with all cabin air filter replacements, which helps to keep your vehicle in prime resale and trade-in value. We have Saturday hours and an Express Service Department. If you need to wait for your filter to be replaced, we have a comfortable waiting area with free WiFi so that you can stay connected and offer complimentary Uber and Lift services to make it easier for picking up and dropping off your Volkswagen for cabin air filter replacement.
