Importance of the Engine Air Filter Explained by Certified Technicians at Riverhead Bay Volkswagen

Our certified Volkswagen technicians strongly recommend routine preventative maintenance to ensure your Volkswagen engine runs smoothly and dependably for years to come. This can help catch minor issues early and identify blockages in your engine's filters. One such filter, known as the engine air filter, prevents contaminants within the air from reaching your engine. It traps unwanted materials, such as debris, dirt, and dust. These contaminants can clog the filter's membrane, decreasing the amount of clean air that reaches your engine. Unfortunately, this can cause a decrease in the efficiency, power, and performance of your engine. The engine will need to work harder, consuming more fuel, leading to decreased fuel efficiency. Our certified VW technicians strongly recommend having the engine air filter replaced if it is clogged to prevent unnecessary damage to one of your Volkswagen's most critical components.
