Compared to the honda ones I don't notice a difference in the cabin air. They fitted fine and saved me about $20 bucks.
Pros: fitted fine, saved money
Cons: no difference
Vehicle:
Honda Civic

What finally seemed to help was replacing the cabin air filter (did myself in 3/2017) with one of the MANN charcoal filters (FP26 009 "Frecious Plus"). Perhaps this was just coincidental, but we have not experienced the problem since changing the filter.
Pros: solved fuel odor, effective filtration
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: FP 26-009
You can get the engine and cabin filters on Amazon and save yourself $150+ dollars. Look up Mann filters (which is the same thing VW uses) for you year.
Pros: save money, easy access
Might be a silly question, but have you considered building it to have a Mann CU 2038 fit it? Have been running those in my \"stock\" cabin air filter since the original filter is NLA.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: CU 2038
I checked to make sure the cabin filter wasn't restricted (Mann filter less than a year old).
Pros: not restricted, good condition
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
This is one of those things I do once a year. I live on dirt roads and 12-15K is about all I can take before needing to do a change.
Pros: yearly change
Cons: needs frequent change
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 15000 km
Purchased OEM VW Charcoal Lined Cabin Filter / Fresh Air Filter and OEM VW engine Air Filter for $40 from ECS Tuning. Installed at 102k miles.
Pros: new cabin air filter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 102000 km
The HVAC smelled really musty from sitting so long, so I replaced the cabin air filter with a new Wix one.
Pros: new cabin air filter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Note that changing your cabin air filter could help too.
Pros: could help
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
What soured my relationship with them was that I had replaced the cabin filter myself about 3 weeks earlier, checked it after they serviced it, and it was still my Hengst air filter (which I had marked with a few dots), and not a new one.
Cons: filter not replaced
