Mk7 Jetta Unitronic Cold Air Intake

Follow me on an adventure of installing a part without instructions. I make mistakes, I think there are spare parts when there aren't, but it turns out okay. This is really more for entertainment than educational purposes...sorry.

Thanks for sharing, Kaylee! Sorry we missed commenting on this video in the past.

[@chrodriguezmarydown]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@patrikolas]

Eu fiz a instalação do meu filtro intake após assistir seu video 😊 Eu também gosto do som "peeww"😅

[@secion8]

The hose on bottom is for any liquid to drain instead of pool up in the bottom of the air box

[@MC-ff6pl]

P.R. is right

[@Bawla187]

Manual fo life ✌🏾

[@tallmanjuice4622]

Nice 😊

[@javik8756]

According to Unitronic, not all Ea211 1.4 Jettas have that apparatus for the mini filter. On some models, they're equipped with a secondary air pump to assist with cold starting. My jetta did not have this, so Unitronics told me to just forget about it.

[@kaylee_hobbz]

Interesting. Good to know. I'll update my description with that information.

[@caedon8721]

by forget about it do you mean you didnt use the intake or just didnt put the mini filter on

[@sferree28]

Currently deciding between unitronic and ECS air intakes, thanks for the install video. Def useful information. Also, what size wheels do you have, and did you notice any issues with rubbing?

[@JustaJettuh]

i have an aem cold air i love it

[@dnice362]

Im thinking of ordering the ecs one myself. Let know if you order it and how you like it

[@sferree28]

@dnice362 i didn't buy it because there was no attachment for the BOV hose, and i didn't want to interfere with any engine cooling effects by removing the flap on the stock air duct. I got an AEM and i love it. I can actually hear the engine for rev matching by ear

where you get this intake?

[@scottroberts5529]

That stock pipe on the bottom of that stock intake is a water drain pipe

[@kaylee_hobbz]

Oh my gosh! Thank you!

[@Adam-os2cl]

So I finally got the coilovers installed but now I had to order shorter and links🤦🏽 But the Racelands ride well so far. Next going to get a APR stage 1 tune👍

[@kaylee_hobbz]

Yay! That's awesome to hear.

[@Adam-os2cl]

Finally got the APR tune much more fun driving experience 😁

[@itzpanda4452]

@@Adam-os2cl How is it? i’m thinking about getting my mk7 tuned. you think its bad for reliability down the future?

[@Adam-os2cl]

No I have APR stage one and have had zero problems at all.

[@tacticalforky]

Will this intake fit on a 2022 jetta sport with the 1.5t engine? Nobody makes one for the car yet and the engines appear to be identical other than 1.4 vs 1.5.

[@thesnowbank]

it would not fit its a different engine size would not recommend buying one and finding it wont fit just wait till they make one for the 1.5

[@techtester372]

Don't Listen to Snowbank, Just buy it and try it. I have a 1.4t jetta with this intake and my girl has a 1.5t taos and the engines look identical.

[@k1ngdjtok3n]

So I forgot to pull the negative terminal and now I have a bunch of dash lights. They went away after driving it but my ECU reading keeps saying “system low voltage”. Any thoughts? Any insight is very much appreciated.

[@arthurportillo9753]

Did you fix this issue ??!!! Mine does the same . Replaced the battery & it still does ??

[@carlingas666]

Was there any noticeable increase in horse power after adding cold intake?

[@drasselll3243]

If you have a turbo in your engine, installing a CAI will reduce airflow resistance which makes the engine an turbo work less to suck their air. It doesn't really give a huge boost in itself (10hp) but it helps your other components do a better job. Also it sounds pretty cool.

[@Adam-os2cl]

I just ordered the cold air intake from UNITRONIC for my 2019 Jetta S but did not see an baby filter in the kit🥺.it’s the UNITRONIC 1.4TSI EA211 GEN 2 INTAKE kit.

[@kaylee_hobbz]

Weird. I'm almost wondering if it's even necessary. I'm looking at their website and it doesn't list the smaller filter on the hardware included in the kit. I would contact Unitronic and double check with them though.

[@Adam-os2cl]

I will contact them and give you a update. By the way where did you get your rims? They look awesome

[@kaylee_hobbz]

Thanks Adam. And I actually got them as a wheel and tire combo from Tire Rack. I've been a long time fan girl of OZs.

Hey I got a 2019 jetta SEL How did that airfilter work out?

[@kaylancphoto]

New to the VW world, I recently got a MK7 Jetta R Line. Im thinking of doing a lift-technik intake and a quad bola exhaust. do you know at what point I would need a tune?

[@kaylee_hobbz]

For those two mods, you won't need a tune. Once you install a downpipe though... It shall be time. 😎

[@thewholecountryislaughinga8440]

U don’t need a tune for a down pipe on these cars either 🤦‍♂️. Honestly though unless u rolling in a gli u wasting your money as the max you’ll ever get from these cars are 210 whp. U can’t attach a bigger turbo as the engine can’t handle it.

[@Pdubb19]

So how much this cost you

[@gati54uri094]

Why change a filter per se its far the engine and its inside the case?? In that case you only change high flow filter but not all intake because its a cold air on stock.

[@ApolloMediaProductions]

Have you done the APR tube yet?

[@kaylee_hobbz]

The tune? I have not. I'll be doing that once my factory warranty runs out. 😊

[@andrewlupoli1567]

At 9:06 please help. What was this little tube for.

8:26 did you take that entire clip ring thing off the hose and just clamp on the baby filter?

Not immediately. Tuning's definitely been a consideration for the future.

@@aib150 I think the power would be nice, but I have heard the stock clutches on the MK7 Jettas are paper thin and don't support more power/torque super well. Idk about the automatic transmissions. That's the only real complaint I've heard about these specific vehicles.

Increased horsepower, better gas mileage, and nicer sound are the top benefits. I mostly did it for the little turbo flutter noises you get.
