Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter helps you protect both performance and comfort in your 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI. The engine air filter filters intake air before it reaches the turbocharged 2.0L engine; a clean filter sustains horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency while protecting turbo components and mass airflow sensors. The cabin air filter, by contrast, filters outside air entering the passenger compartment to remove allergens and pollutants. Both are essential: one keeps your engine running optimally, the other keeps occupants comfortable and healthy. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale we inspect both filters during routine service, use OEM parts, and document results so you know exactly what was done. Our technicians are factory-trained, and warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage.
