Did you know that original filters significantly contribute to the economical running of your car? The good condition and functionality of the various filters also favourably influences the error-free running of the engine or comfort inside the car.

 

The fuel filter catches undesirable dirt particles, such as dust, rust, water and deposits from the tank, and thereby protects the extremely sensitive injection set from damage.


The oil filter traps various pieces of dirt, metal and non-metal particles, soot and carbon deposits in the engine oil. If a filter other than a Škoda genuine oil filter is used, it could happen that the filter prematurely clogs up and reduces the flow-through of oil, or there could be a leak of unfiltered oil into the engine. An undesirable consequence could be the overheating of the engine or a seizure.

The air filter ensures the input of clean air into the engine and also has a positive influence on the noisiness of the suction tract. A poor quality or excessively dirty air filter disturbs the correct ratio of air and fuel in the combustion system, which negatively affects fuel consumption.

Pollen and dust filters catch solid dirt and aerosol substances, and therefore ensure clean air inside the car.


Each Škoda genuine filter has a prescribed replacement interval, which is determined by the type of engine and filter. Each omission of maintenance, exceeding of exchange interval and use of unapproved types of filters has negative consequences. On the other hand, the use and regular replacement of Škoda genuine filters is a guarantee of excellent functionality, reliability and service life.


Of all the named filters, the car’s passengers most appreciate the quality and correct functioning of the pollen filter. Therefore, we will give a few examples of why it is necessary to pay such attention to the state of filters:

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 filter in the passenger space will enable you to breathe better air!
Reduce the danger of allergies and asthma!
A filter in the passenger room effectively reduces the quantity of dust and pollen, which significantly increases comfort during driving.
Stay healthy!
If a filter in the passenger space is no longer performing its task, things that can be breathed in include 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 others.
Improve your view!
If the interior filter is in good condition, this helps reduce moisture and its immediate disappearance from the inner sides of glass. This improves safety when driving.
Bad smells do not bother you!
A filter with active coal absorbs a large part of unpleasant smells and polluting gases, such as ozone and nitrogen oxides. It can filter out particles with dimensions of several microns, such as pollen and soot.

 

Have you got air-conditioning in your car?
It also requires regular maintenance. Moisture gets stuck in air conditioning and bacteria can multiply in it. We therefore recommend that you clean your air conditioning at least once a year and, after each time you clean it, also replace the pollen filter. In this way you will ensure your car interior is clean whole year. Passengers in a car are exposed to six times more polluted air than pedestrians along a road.
