Genuine OE VW Audi Group MQB Pollen Filter – 5Q0 819 669
The Genuine OE pollen filter (part number 5Q0 819 669) is the factory-fitted cabin air filter used across the majority of MQB platform vehicles from the VW Audi Group. As an authorised retailer of genuine service parts, we supply this filter exactly as specified by the manufacturer, with the added benefit of a charcoal activated lining for improved filtration.
What the pollen filter does
Your cabin air filter sits within the ventilation system and cleans the air entering the interior through the heater, air conditioning and vents. Over time it becomes blocked with dust, pollen, road grime and other airborne particles, which reduces airflow and lets unpleasant smells into the cabin. Replacing it as part of routine servicing restores proper ventilation performance and keeps the air inside your car clean.
This particular filter is the carbon (charcoal) lined version. The activated charcoal layer is more effective at trapping odours, exhaust fumes and allergens than a standard paper filter, which is especially useful in heavy traffic or urban driving.
Key benefits
- Genuine OE part, matching factory specification
- Activated charcoal layer for improved odour and allergen filtration
- Restores full airflow from the heater and air conditioning
- Helps reduce dust, pollen and pollutants entering the cabin
- Part of the scheduled service routine for MQB vehicles
When to replace
The pollen filter is an often overlooked service item. It should be changed at the intervals set out in your vehicle’s service schedule, or sooner if you notice reduced airflow from the vents, lingering smells inside the cabin, or fogged windows that take longer than usual to clear. If you suffer from hay fever or allergies, more frequent replacement is worthwhile.

This filter fits the majority of MQB platform vehicles across the VW, Audi, SEAT, Cupra and Skoda ranges, including popular models such as the Golf Mk7 and Mk8, Audi A3 8V and 8Y, SEAT Leon, Skoda Octavia and many more.
