Default How often should I change my filter pack?

I've got a 2005 TDI Beetle.

While purchasing oil and filter from TDIparts.com I noticed they have a filter pack (Includes air, cabin, and fuel filters)

Was wondering how often I should change these? I've got 25,000 miles on it now.

Any info is appreciated!

The oil filter you should change everytime you change the oil.

VW says the fuel filter needs changed every 100,000 miles. However, quite a few people have had stalling problems around 40,000 miles that were corrected by replacing the fuel filter.

The cabin filter is recommended every 20,000 miles.

On a TDI the fuel filter should get replaced every 20K miles.

On a TDI the oil and filter should get changed every 10K miles assuming you are using the right kind of oil.

Air and cabin should be the same on gas/diesel vehicles.

However, as suggested before, check the manual as I am going off 2003 TDI schedules.

If you're not the first owner, or haven't changed the cabin air filter, there's a good chance it's clogged by now. It seems all sorts of dry leafs and assorted crud likes to clog the area under the dash where the filter is. Mine was so bad, I regret not taking a picture.
