Volkswagen Jetta TDI MK6 2011-2017 Engine Air Filter Change | How-To/Installation

[@HT-wb6li]

keep up the great videos man! you should really think about doing a aftermarket skid plate on your car. I recently banged my stock oil pan and cracked it. i just installed the orisis evolution skid plate on my tdi and all i can say is WOW. its such an amazing upgrade.

[@FocusedGarage]

I love nice aftermarket metal skid plates! Such a solid investment.

I added the same skid plate to my 2012 sportwagen tdi. LOVE IT!

[@char_herm]

Loving these TDI videos! Keep them coming! Are you going to do a DSG service vid?

[@FocusedGarage]

I actually didn't film the DSG service unfortunately. I'll try to see if I can get one to film though! Thanks for the support.

[@NickVetter]

I appreciate the winter protection I'm in ND.

[@FocusedGarage]

If you live in a snowy state the snow guard is a must.

[@rockersuki]

Question, could a dirty air filter cause rough idle and stalling while idled for a few minutes?

[@FocusedGarage]

It has to be very dirty and affecting the air flow. I would throw in a clean air filter to see if it's going to help but I don't think that is your problem.

[@jimjohns9595]

If it is a diesel chances are it is your fuel filter.

[@joea6418]

Interesting that little part that u guys We’re just wondering what it was , I was just wondering the same thing today as I inspected the filter -did you ever find out what it was and do you know if yours is tightly secured to the opening mine looks like it’s not totally secure but I wonder if it’s normal to be that way when the engine is off or if it needs a tightening ?

[@FocusedGarage]

The airbox should be "sealed" when tightened.

[@sithjediemperoroverlord7337]

At 5:48 I heard it's a warm air intake to help warm up the engine faster in the winter

[@FocusedGarage]

Possibly.

[@kathleenspears3952]

Have you ever tested whether it's really worth it to purchase a Dooxi air filter ?

[@FocusedGarage]

We have not.

[@kathleenspears3952]

@@FocusedGarage Thank you for your time. I just see their advertisement and wanna find something useful from youtube.

[@manjotswaich]

does it fit into 2015 passat tdi 2.0 ?

[@FocusedGarage]

Yes, same steps.

[@HT-wb6li]

and you should have done the k&n drop in filter. i did it on mine. just clean it and put it back in. no more paper filter

[@FocusedGarage]

I've heard issues with the oil from the filter material in regards to those.

[@recon_ron7746]

@@FocusedGarage what do you think about AFE filters?

[@FocusedGarage]

If they're oiled, be careful.

[@KVron]

The oil from those filters can mess up your MAF sensor, be careful.

[@FocusedGarage]

Much safer to run dry filters on modern MAF cars.

[@robertmassucci1]

not fresh air for cabin

[@jimjohns9595]

Having to loosen 8 screws to change a filter when, for decades, darn near every car's filter was changed with a thumb and a forefinger is pretty stupid. I know I own one.

[@FocusedGarage]

I also prefer the filters that just have the metal clips.

[@schultzsw]

If you think that’s a chore (and I agree that it is) try replacing the cabin air filter in a 2014 VW JSW. You’ll be screaming profanities that can be heard from the Space Shuttle.
