Did you know that original filters contribute to the economical running of your car? The condition of the various filters extends the service life of your engine and increases reliability.

The fuel filter catches undesirable dirt particles, such as dust, rust, water and deposits from the fuel tank, and thereby protects the injection system of your vehicle from damage.

The oil filter removes various pieces of grit, metal and non-metal particles, soot and carbon deposits that can exist in the engine oil. If a filter of lesser quality is used, the filter could prematurely clog up and reduce the free flow of oil. The consequences include excess engine wear, engine overheating or even engine seizure.

The air filter ensures the input of clean air into the engine. A poor quality or excessively dirty air filter inhibits the correct ratio of air and fuel which negatively effects fuel consumption and economy.

Pollen and dust filters catch solid dirt and vapor substances, and therefore ensure the air we breathe inside the car is clean.


Each genuine ŠKODA filter has a fixed replacement interval which is determined by the type of engine. Failure to replace your filter on time or using unapproved types of filters could have negative consequences for your engine. The use and regular replacement of ŠKODA genuine filters ensures your ŠKODA delivers excellent reliability and prolonged service life.


Of all filters, the pollen filter can impact directly on passengers. Below are a few examples of the importantance of the pollen filter:

  • Breathe fresh air!
    Various studies have proved that passengers in a car are exposed to six times more polluted air than pedestrians along a road. A pollen filter in the vehicle cabin will enable you to breathe cleaner air!
  • Reduce the danger of allergies and asthma!
    A filter in the passenger space effectively reduces the quantity of dust and pollen that enters the cabin. Pollen and dust can be extremely irritating to those who suffer from hay-fever.
  • Stay healthy!
    If a filter is not functioning correctly you may be inhaling pollen, harmful particles and microbiological germs. The selection of a good filter is therefore of fundamental importance, not only for the protection of people who suffer from allergies and asthmatics, but it is also appropriate prevention for other occupants in the vehicle.
  • Improve your view!
    If the interior filter is functioning correctly it will assist the reduction of moisture and help avoid the buildup of condensation on the vehicle windows. This in turn improves visibility and increases safety when driving.
  • Expel bad smells!
    A filter with active coal absorbs unpleasant smells and polluting gases such as nitrogen oxides.

Have you got air-conditioning in your car?
Air-conditioning also requires regular maintenance. Moisture build up can take place in your air conditioning leading to the multiplication of bacteria. We recommend you clean your air conditioning and replace your pollen filter at least once a year.
