Volkswagen Engine Air Filter Replacement
Volkswagen Engine Air Filter Replacement Service In Houston, TX
You probably already know that periodically replacing the air filter for your Volkswagen engine is an important part of general maintenance. But why is that and what's the big deal if that air filter is a bit old? Well, an expired engine air filter isn't typically the type of problem you're likely to notice at first, but it is one of those problems that will take a toll on your engine and budget down the road. Below, we provide a few more details of what you should know about the engine air filter in your car. If you have any questions, give us a call or swing by our Volkswagen dealership service center in Houston, TX to ensure your VW is ready for anything the road ahead has to throw at it.
Why Does Your Engine Need An Air Filter?
For a gas-powered engine to run, it mixes air with gasoline to create combustion. As you might imagine, air that's full of dust, dirt, or other debris can cause a lot of problems for your engine. That's why there's an air filter to catch anything that might be in the air while you're driving around. At some point, that filter is going to get full and need to be replaced. Sure, you can drive around with an expired engine air filter. But it will likely mean your engine is working harder than it needs to, which means lower fuel economy and potentially a shortened lifespan.
How Often Should You Get The Engine Air Filter Replaced in Your Volkswagen?
A good general rule for Volkswagen models or pretty much any automotive engine is to have the air filter replaced every 15,000 miles. Conveniently, that's also the number of miles that you'll want to have the cabin air filter replaced. If you have any questions, contact our VW service center.
