@djjoep100 Hey Joe. Your 06 Jetta uses the same AQ1009 filter and installation procedure. Your Jetta may however have a foam panel underneath the glove box that must be removed to get to the housing. It should have two plastic screws that hold the panel on. If your vehicle has that panel them removing it is the only extra step.

I have a musty/mildew smell when the AC is on. Do I need to spray or clean the ducts in any way in addition to changing the filter?

@DaveCordts normally just changing the cabin air filter will do away with any bad smells you may be experiencing. If after you change the filter it still has some residual smell to it, cleaning your ducts couldn’t hurt!

@filterheads I changed the filter…took me only 5 minutes. Wiped out the ducts as I could reach with a disinfectant. No odor at all. Don’t know why I procrastinated so long! Thanks

How often would you say you need to replace these little guys?
December 2nd, 2011 at 6:24 pm
@DaveCordts How did you blow out the ducts? Blow canned air into the vents?
December 2nd, 2011 at 6:30 pm
@nickingrao Neither, I simply changed the filter as directed and the smell was immediately eliminated. 3 months – still fresh. BTW when I opened the vent cover and removed the old filter, all sorts of debris (pine needles, leaves, etc) fell out.

@DaveCordts Thankd for the reply. Mine hasn’t been changed since the purchase date ’06. I’ll be sure to lay some bags down.

I don’t know why but ever since I changed the filter, I get a fluttery/whistling sound whenever my air is on 1 or 2. Any suggestions?
