Volkswagen Air Filter: A Breath of Fresh Air

An air filter plays an important role in the Volkswagen intake system. Like living things, engine needs fresh, clean air. The engine combines fuel with air during the combustion process, and can consume up to 10,000 gallons of air per gallon of fuel.

To ensure the quality of the burn material, all the air going into the engine passes through the Volkswagen air filter, where dirt and other abrasive matter that can cause oil contamination and mechanical wear are filtered out. The Volkswagen air filter optimizes the air component in the combustion mixture so that fuel dregs from poor combustion are prevented from accumulating in the combustion chambers.

Volkswagen air filters are made from either disposable pleated paper or foam and these can be efficient and inexpensive to replace. Some aftermarket performance air filters employ cotton as filter medium. The air filter sits near the center-top of the engine, enclosed in a usually black casing made of synthetic material. In larger cars, the air filter will be off to the side. The Volkswagen air filter is easy to find as it will be the largest non-metal assembly you see under the hood. There are two kinds of air filters: radial type and panel type air filters. Older Volkswagens with carburetors typically have radial style air filters, while newer Volkswagens with fuel-injectors mostly employ panel style air filters.

The air filter gets dirty the first time you drive your Volkswagen so when do you replace it? The rule of thumb is to replace your Volkswagen air filter every year or every 20,000 miles. Driving in a dusty or sandy area takes greater toll on the air filter and you may have to replace it more frequently, every 5,000 miles or so.

A worn air filter heavy with so much accumulated dirt can restrict the flow of air to the engines, affecting fuel performance and economy. Replacing your Volkswagen's air filter regularly can significantly extend engine life.
