I've purchased these and they fit well. Much cheaper than letting the dealer do it.
The air in my Arteon is starting to smell so I bought a new fancy Mann cabin filter from Pelican. All good so far.
With the special Castrol LL VW 50700 Diesel recommended oil and Mann filter, it costs me $35-40 myself. If you are in warranty though, it may be best to dealer service because despite legislation, it is worlds easier if you need warranty work and can prove you had it done at a franchised VW dealer.
Cabin Air Filters aka the Pollen filter they tried to sell you is remedial classes easy to change in most cars. My MK6 JSW was maybe 5 minutes with no tools? Cost was $10ish dollars for a Charcoal filter too.
Cabin filter I swapped out for a MANN filter so I could enable Air Care.
As for the smell, I would replace your cabin air filter. Your old one might have picked up moisture or some organic material. And if you get an option for it I would spend the few extra dollars and get a charcoal lined one. I should help with future smells.
I purchased the Amazon one (KD45-61-J6X) for my '15 and it's worked well.
In contract, I just bought a Mann filter for the cabin - and yes I know the difference between the engine and cabin filter - but the Mann did not have any such warning.
Engine/Cabin filter; DIY with mann filters, should be like $50 for both
When I started dating my wife, I found out she was on the original cabin air filter in her car. Surprisingly the cabin air filter was relatively clean and looked nothing like the picture posted.
Unnecessary. A few years ago a Mazda dealership suggested a bunch of work to me when I went in for an oil change, including some stuff I had done on my own literally a week before. I got a survey from Mazda and complained on it that they were suggesting bogus things that I know for a fact did not need to be done (e.g. they claimed my cabin air filter and engine air filter were dirty, despite being brand new).
