How to replace the Pollen Filter
I may be just stupid, but I have purchased the new filter media and cannot figure out where to replace the old one. Can someone give me a how to on where to locate the filter unit so I can replace it. It needs it, I have super funky smell coming from the air system.
Also, another question. The inside of my bug smells identical to the smell of a box of crayons. I have leather interior and have heard that others have this same scent. Any ideas? Thanks! 2001 VW NB GLX Turbo Adam heeeheee@gmail.com

The cabin filter is under the front dash cover. The smell of crayons is a waxlike sealer that VW used as a rust preventive sealer. If you do a search on cabin filter and crayon you will find more info.

You mean you didn't buy it for the crayon smell?
I personally am addicted...

Remove the center dash cover by pushing it forward and popping it up.
Remove the right dash cover by prying it up. Under it will be a panel with a bunch of torx screws. Remove those. The filter will be under there. Release the two clips on the side closest to the rear of the car and lift up.
