Cabin filter K&N or OEM Volkswagen

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.

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.

I have bought and installed air and cabin filters from K&N. Perfect fit, washable and last years when cleaned properly.

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.

Replaced cabin air filter w k&n high performance filter in prep for my 60k, car feels so much faster now. Butt dyno is reading 10+ hp gains!

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.

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.

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.

My AC smells like wet dog for the first 30 seconds I run it. Wonder if changing the cabin filter would help.

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?
