FAQs
What is the difference between the LAK226 and the LA226?
The LAK226 includes an activated carbon layer for odor neutralization, while the LA226 is typically a standard particulate-only filter.
How often should I replace the LAK226 filter?
It is recommended to replace the filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or annually, depending on local air quality and driving conditions.
Does this filter help with allergies?
Yes, the high-efficiency media is designed to capture pollen and fine dust, which can significantly improve comfort for allergy sufferers.
Can I wash and reuse the filter?
No, this is a single-use filter and should not be washed or cleaned with compressed air, as this damages the filter media.
How do I know if it fits my car?
You should cross-reference the part number LAK226 with your vehicle's make, model, and year using an online parts catalog or your owner's manual.
What are the dimensions of the filter?
The filter measures 536.0 mm in length, 30.0 mm in height, and 110 mm in width.
Troubleshooting
Weak airflow from the vents
The filter may be clogged with debris; remove and inspect for blockages or replace if it has exceeded its service life.
Odors still entering the cabin
Ensure the filter is seated properly in the housing without gaps; if the seal is correct, the activated carbon may be saturated and require replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Activated carbon layer removes unpleasant odors
- Effective at capturing fine dust and pollen
- High manufacturing standards for long-lasting performance
- Helps maintain a cleaner vehicle interior and dashboard
Cons
- Not washable; must be replaced periodically

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, consult your vehicle owner's manual to locate the cabin filter housing, which is typically found behind the glove compartment or under the cowl.
- Open the filter housing compartment by releasing the clips or screws.
- Note the airflow direction indicator on the old filter and match it with the orientation of the LAK226.
- Slide the new filter into the housing, ensuring a snug fit with no gaps.
- Secure the cover back into place.
Compatibility covers select models from Ford, Seat, and Volkswagen; always use the MPN LAK226 to cross-reference your exact vehicle. It is recommended to replace this filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or at least once a year, to maintain optimal airflow and prevent fan motor strain.
