Btw some brands like Mann Filter include a short manual telling you the direction of the air flow.
I would change my own cabin filter...seems EZ breezy....
My 2017 Classic Edition has 24,500km just an oil change and Cabin filter.
This is my brand. Mann-Filter. Easy to replace.
FCP Euro has a lifetime replacement on parts from them, just buy from them and get free replacements of the currently available filters.
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.
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.
Has anyone experienced or heard of a cabin air filter being damaged by heat? At first I thought it was rodent damage or mold, but those little white balls resembled burnt plastic. I took a lighter and burnt another section of the filter and it made the exact same damage.
