Cabin filter K&N or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
The VF2074 fits just as well as the oem, you should be able to set it in the oem door / latch. I have it on mine with no issues.
Pros: fits just as well
Cons: no issues
Part number: VF2074
I got a K&N washable filter. It’s got the wire mesh that keeps them out. Haven’t had any issues since installing it.
Pros: keeps mice out
I have bought and installed air and cabin filters from K&N. Perfect fit, washable and last years when cleaned properly.
Pros: Perfect fit, washable, long lasting
Go for the K&N cabin filter and you'll never go back to those paper ones.
K&N cabin filter benefits:
* Reusable and washable.
* The static charge on the filter captures way more dust, germs, and bacteria.
* You can breathe better and less dust that makes it through your car vents.
Pros: reusable, washable, captures dust/germs, better breathing

Treat yourself to a washable K&N Cabin Filter. The filter and cleaning kit quickly pay for themselves. I clean mine every 6 months just cause.
Pros: washable, pays for itself

Approaching 7k miles on 2018 GSW S 4motion 6mt, loving the car. -Warranty work to clean musty smell out of HVAC system, and replace cabin filter. This was performed free during first oil change. Dealership was excellent throughout the process and told me to not run recirc before shutting the car off.
Pros: Dealership was excellent
Cons: musty smell out
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 11265 km
I can't verify but it does seem like the OEM cabin filter in the Atlas is not charcoal activated, as I'm noticing all kinds of odors (including washer fluid) that I never got while driving my '08 Jetta with an activated charcoal filter.
Cons: not charcoal activated
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
My AC smells like wet dog for the first 30 seconds I run it. Wonder if changing the cabin filter would help.
Pros: help with AC smell
Cons: AC smells like wet dog
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mk7 GTI, currently at 5k miles but strong mildew smell coming from the vents.. I know the cabin air filters will last at least 15-20k miles. Anyone have a similar issue?
Cons: strong mildew smell
