Engine Air Filter Replacement

Purpose of Engine Air Filter in Your Volkswagen

For most vehicles, the engine air filter is located under the hood in the front of the engine. Air that is sucked in by the engine has to pass through this air filter, which is made to remove dirt, dust, road debris, and other small contaminants that can get into the engine. Your Volkswagen’s small and inexpensive component is vital to your vehicle’s overall health and performance. We recommend you contact the air filter inspected by our certified technicians at Ken Ganley Volkswagen North Olmsted every time you get an oil filter replacement. If you drive in dusty, dirty, or polluted areas, your vehicle might need frequent engine air filter replacement.

Signs of Clogged or Damaged Engine Air Filter

The service interval of an engine air filter depends on the quality of the filter, driving conditions, and maintenance. You can get the engine air filter cleaned to maximize its life; however, not all the contaminants can be cleaned. That is why an engine air filter replacement is required. If you notice the fuel efficiency of your Volkswagen has reduced, or the engine misfires or doesn’t deliver the same power as it used to, you can get the engine air filter inspected at Ken Ganley Volkswagen North Olmsted.
