Cabin filter Tesla or Mann

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.

I've just hit 40k km on my car. Only brought it in once to change the cabin air filter.

‘21 Tesla Model Y, I’ve needed an air filter change with coil cleaning, another coil cleaning I did myself. Set of tires at 25k miles. Currently at 30 k miles and only other thing I’ve done is refill windshield washer fluid.

I’ve changed the oil in my Tesla zero times in 15k miles, but I did have to replace the windshield wipers, and cabin air filter.

Just picked up our second Model Y, had our first one for over a year and 20k+ miles and the only things it needed was tires (put new wheels and tires on), and cabin air filters change (took about 15 minute in my driveway).

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.

Every 6 months to a year you need to replace the cabin filter and clean the evaporator.

I had these and they created mold also. The oem filters without the "active charcoal" are much better than these and they are cured against mold.
