Mann Filter Cabin Air Filter - CUK2862

Installation is fairly complex, suggest you review YouTube videos. Also, if you have a convertible/cabriolet as I do, the vehicle comes from the factory without a cabin filter, a factor not disclosed in advertising or instructions. There is actually a YouTube video that is quite humorous when the technician has fully disassembled the dash only to discover the convertible he is working on does not have a cabin filter.

Pulling the filter out of the box I could tell it was quality. It had some heft to it. It fit snug into the filter holder and the notches aligned perfectly.

I have used this type of cabin filter before and MANN brand is always the go-to brand for European applications.However, I will never know if this exact filter will live up to my expectations as it did not fit my application per Amazon's fitment guide. Apparently 2006 and up VW New Beetles do not have any cabin filter provision at all. There is a plastic mesh screen that replaced the filter housing present in earlier Beetles. One can retrofit a older filter housing in to the later models, and instructions to do so are easily found in the web. The cost was approximately $60 for the retrofit. I chose not to upgrade, as cleaning the debris in the filter cavity cleared up any odors I was having.The filter features quality fabric construction that incorporates carbon material to soak up any odors. It also came with a set of pictorial instruction in case some help was needed.

Bought this for use in a 99 VW New Beetle. Works great. Not sure what the other reviewer is talking about, as far as I'm aware they didn't change the filter through those years, but it fits fine in a 99. It was a bit tight and needed to be twisted in, in just the right way, but it fits great.There was a lingering odor of musty dog from the previous owner, after a good cleaning you could only detect it when turning the HVAC system on, so I replaced the old filter with this one. The smell was gone instantly. I also noticed that outside odors (driving past farms/behind diesel trucks/etc) do not penetrate the cabin at all. The charcoal element in the filter keeps all the smells out.I'm very pleased with this filter and Amazon has it at a great price making it actually cheaper than the standard (non charcoal infused) filter at my local auto store. Definitely worth it.

My Wife's VW didn't actually have a filter, or even the housing for the filter, in her car. No 2010 Beetles apparently have it. You can, however buy one and it fits in easily (just takes a long time to get). This was an absolute must with my wife's asthma and allergies, but if you don't absolutely need it, make sure your can can use it before getting one.

This filter fit like a dealer purchased part in my 2006 VW Beetle. It really isn't too bad to change as long as you watch a few videos on YouTube. Please change your filter if you haven't already, chances are it has never been changed (at least on the 2 used Beetles I have purchased) and it is clogged with dirt, leaves, and bugs. You will breathe better!

I really like Mann parts. They are OEM for a lot of European cars. My daughter-in-law has a Q5 that I changed the oil on. It was an Audi OEM part and made by Mann. A lot better made than the Chinese filter that came out of it. I noticed that this filter is heavy. I presume it had an abundance of charcoal. It fit perfectly in my wife's VW Golf. Their canister oil filters are well made also. I just like these parts.

The activated Charcoal is well worth it. I am allergic to freshly cut grass and actually hold my breath when I go by someone mowing on the side of the road. This alleviates a lot of that smell and cuts down on other smells too. {of course nothing can touch that Mushed Skunk smell}

Perfect fit for GOLF MK4 GTI 2002

This filter is well-made. Suited my VW Golf MK4. I recommend this product.
