Volkswagen is bringing a new mid-size SUV to the lineup by the name of the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. It shares much of its DNA with the full-size Atlas in a slightly smaller, sleeker package. The Atlas Cross Sport is visually more athletic and fun while maintaining the original attractive appearance of its predecessor. Those familiar with the Atlas are aware of its 3rd row but this is absent in the Cross Sport; the second row has been replaced with a bench seat to include seating comfortable for 5. Its evident that VW has continued on with updating the vehicles technology and style with features like advanced LED headlights & LED tail lights, panoramic sunroof, wireless smartphone charger, driver assistance safety, and the impressive Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. 

Neglecting automotive service is always a bad thing, and depending on what it is you’re neglecting, you could end up with some costly damages in the future. The air filter is one such component that you might just ignore, but this can lead to some dire consequences. What exactly happens if you don’t change the air filters in your car? Let’s take a look!

What does the air filter do?

The air filter in your car serves as an air purifier. It traps harmful contaminants and debris from the outside before they can enter your cabin. This is especially useful if you’re someone who has allergies since the air filter will keep the pollen in the air out of the cabin.

How bad can it get if you don’t replace the air filter?

When the air filter gets too dirty, it will get clogged and the engine won’t be able to suck up enough air to the combustion chamber. When this happens, the engine will use more gas and less air, which will result in poorer performance and a drop in fuel efficiency. More than likely, your check engine light will turn on. While this rarely results in permanent damage, neglecting the air filter for long enough may cause the engine to stop running completely. Debris from the outside can build up over time and really wreak havoc on the combustion chamber.
