Project GTi - How To Change your Air Filter

[@rossmcneilh9257]

Who are the two morons who disliked the video? What's not to like? Clear, concise, informative. Do they expect a strip tease thrown in or something?

[@kisakyeandrea6615]

Actually i have learnt very many things from this guy. thank you for the great job

[@dohc123456789]

Thanks for the video, very helpful.To anyone reading, this engine cover does not come off easy as in the video unless your fastners are already broken.My was a total pita to get off, & get back on too.2 of my rubber bits broke, the cover is now quite wobbly.A truly awful design imo.Also I found it helpful to remove the 2 torx screws that fix the air inlet pipe near the slam panel.

Very informative, thanks for posting.

Hi i got a question what was the millage on that filter ?

[@Saymyname1.2]

Hello, can you please share information regarding air filter specifications? Thank you

[@GKWunder]

Great video it helped!!!

[@thomasknapp7236]

Much appreciated! I hate VW for this however. How ridiculous for a filter change and something that should be checked often

[@TheSkystrider]

It was easy to disconnect all the things you showed but I couldn't get the cover to disconnect from the rubber grommets no matter how hard I pulled and I pulled hard. Is there a screw or something I missed? I did remove the oil cap.

[@TheSkystrider]

I got it, but I had to pull on it like I wanted to break it! It is extremely tight with those rubber grommets. I made a video showing how impossible it is to install. I came up with a technique that worked but it was still difficult.

[@kjeld360]

just do a bit of grease on the grommets. ;-)

[@user-bk2zj1rd4c]

@@TheSkystrider do you still have the video ? I have same problem And i dont want to break that plastic cover.

[@Gunbelch]

i was wondering if you had any idea why my 2006 GTI would be blowing consent hot air out of the driver air vents both floor as well as dash vents

[@raymondo5893]

My guess would be because they run hot

[@lucasmangos8796]

I got that too turn you aircon on set it to the lowest temp them turn your aircon off

[@tiger0killerel]

There's 10 morons who disliked the video lol well anyway I bought a 2006 passat about 6 months ago and now I see why some "mechanics" complain about VW being somewhat difficult to work on lol not to mention expensive so with being said....... great video! Now I can do it my self again thanks that was much helpful!

[@alexs4012]

Air filter? What if you have a cold air intake and had to remove the engine cover?

[@hyperpro9118]

little late but just wash & reoil the filter, some filters are different depending on material used and you may need to replace the whole filter entirely, time wise usually around 40,000km/25,000miles. i wouldn't go any higher then your risking it.

[@stephenr1999]

If I have to watch a video on how to change the air filter then that means either dont buy that vehicle or take it to a shop to have it done.

[@PoIsOnFoRmEPL]

if you're this much of idiot that you can't do 5 minutes of work then you probably shouldn't drive car anyways
