Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The E900LC is compatible with a broad range of models under the Volkswagen Group, including various generations of the VW Golf and Passat, Audi A3, Skoda Octavia, and Seat Ibiza. Always verify the specific fitment for your vehicle's production year using your owner's manual or an online parts lookup tool.
Installation:
- Locate the cabin air filter housing, typically found behind the glove compartment or under the passenger-side dashboard cowl.
- Open the housing lid and note the airflow direction arrow on the existing filter.
- Remove the old unit and clean the housing of any debris.
- Insert the new HENGST E900LC, ensuring the airflow arrow on the frame matches the direction of your system's blower motor.
Care: Inspect the filter every 10,000 to 15,000 miles, or more frequently if you drive in high-pollution or high-dust areas. The filter is not washable and should be replaced once it appears darkened or clogged.
