ECOGARD Cabin Air Filter with Activated Carbon XC10463C — Fits Volkswagen & Audi, High-Efficiency 99.5% Particle Capture

The ECOGARD XC10463C is a premium replacement cabin air filter with activated carbon that traps up to 99.5% of airborne particles and helps reduce odors for a fresher vehicle interior.

If you notice musty smells, increased dust inside the cabin, or seasonal allergy symptoms while driving, the cabin air filter is often the simplest component to service. The XC10463C is built to match OE fit and flow requirements for many Volkswagen and Audi models, combining multi-layer particle media with an activated-charcoal layer to limit dust, pollen, pet dander, and common road odors. Installation is straightforward on compatible vehicles and can take as little as five minutes depending on access.

How does this filter improve cabin air quality?

The XC10463C uses high-efficiency media that captures microscopic particles before they reach the HVAC system and passenger compartment. An activated charcoal layer reduces odors from traffic, exhaust, and outdoor sources without releasing any treatment chemicals into the cabin air.

• Captures up to 99.5% of dust, pollen, and airborne debris
• Activated carbon layer reduces common outside odors
• Multi-layer construction balances filtration with airflow
