Change cabin (pollen filter) RHD Mk.7

bertj · Nov 12, 2018

I need to change the cabin filter (UK - Pollen Filter) on my right hand drive Mk.7. There are lots of YouTube videos on left hand drive vehicles but I couldn't find a video for RHD (UK etc.) cars.
I presume that the procedure is similar on both RHD and LHD but it would be good to check.
Advice gratefully received.

Have you tried looking at your manual?

This looks like it's on a RHD vehicle: https://www.autoinstruct.com.au/manufacturer/volkswagen/mk7-golf/changing-cabin-pollen-filter-mk7/

Drop the glovebox (same on all Golfs) and it is behind there. Simple sub 5minute job.

Be careful when removing the door on the filter, its pretty easy to snap off the tabs.

Thanks for reply. Of course, Australia drives on the left so this is a guide for a RHD Golf - very helpful.

I think if you watch the LHD swap on youtube through a mirror you should be fine.

I'd rather change a starter than a cabin filter.
