Borg & Beck BFO4195 Oil Filter Fits: VW Audi Group

Which Filter Should I Choose?

Borg & Beck recommends that the Cabin Filter is checked and replaced every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first.

There are two common types of Cabin Filter, STANDARD and ACTIVATED CARBON.

STANDARD: Made from fully synthetic non-woven fabric, the standard cabin filter is designed to filter out particles as small as a few microns. The fibres are electrically charged and attract the pollutants such as pollen, soot, dust and any other fine particles to keep the air inside the cabin clean.

ACTIVATED CARBON: The advantage of an activated carbon filters is that they trap not only solid particles, but also harmful gases such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and ozone. Through adsorption, activated carbon adsorbs unpleasant odours preventing them from entering the cabin, keeping the air clean and fresh.

Borg & Beck recommends that where an activated carbon filter is available this should be the preferred choice to offer maximum protection.
