Engine Air Filters and Routine Replacement Maintenance

The engine air filter is an essential component that cleans the incoming air used for fuel induction. The filter is a durable paper composite with maximum air filtration achieved when brand new. Although the engine air filter is vital for engine performance, the paper composite becomes clogged with the contaminants it collects. Old engine air filters can get clogged with debris, such as dust, pollen, sand, road salt, and dead insects. Volkswagen recommends engine air filter replacement services every 30,000 miles, or sooner if you notice the symptoms of a clogged engine filter.

Clogged Engine Air Filter Indicators

Air should flow easily across the engine filter and into the fuel induction system for the proper air-fuel blend. Clogged engine air filters restrict airflow and cause these problems:

Reduced horsepower and lack of acceleration
Check engine light
Misfiring engine
Decreased fuel efficiency
Fuel odor inside the cabin
The filter is visually clogged
Black smoke or flames exiting the tailpipe
