How To: VW 2.5L Air Filter Replacement for Jetta, Golf, Passat, or Sportwagen | Eich Motor Company 

Why would someone give this video a thumbs down? Clear and to the point, good camera, and no crappy music.

Saved me 💰💰by watching this video. Ordered the same brand air filter the VW dealership uses and it only cost me $15 vs. $50-$100 at the dealership. Thank you!

Hey great tip, when you take off that first hose clamp, remember to go up, and not down over the soft plastic intake tube like I did. I literally had to fight for like 35 minutes to get that clamp off and back where it belonged.

Thank you! All in saved me $118 bucks from what dealer would have charged. Much appreciated!

ohh my Goshh! that is so much work for a little air filter. ARGGG

Great video, I was ready to throw out the whole cover because of my distaste for it weeks ago never realized the filter was attached until trying to replace it today lol.

Thanks man, I'm no DIY guy but I watched your video and got it done.

Amazing video ! Descriptive , to the point, no bias bull , very well explained , professional

Thank you! Saved me a $100 filter change from the dealer. Thanks a lot!

Frigging Germans make everything so damn difficult.

worked just as advertised great video

Two tricks to make it easier. 1, use wd40 or silicone spray with a straw to spray the two front ones before taking it off. 2, use a clip removing tool or a screw driver to push up on the front rubber mounts. Allot better than risking cracking the plastic.

Thank you Much! Otherwise i would probably end up sawing of the cover. 😁

Your video's great. I just can't understand why the silly engineers at VW decided to make the filter replacement such a minor pain in the buttocks.

Oh hohh man you made it look so easy I ended up cracking my housing but only the shallow part I had to take it off the complete opposite way you did it or else I would of ripped the housing in half but it was worth it because the previous owner never changed the filter and it's the original factory one inside after 149k miles!! Besides that I just used alittle sealant to bind the crack I just made but thanks for the video 😆😎

This is such a greatly done video, your instruction are easy to follow. But sadly I wasn't strong enough to pop up the air box I tried so damn hard and got stuck at that step. I had to eventually have a guy friend come help. I sent them your video and he came by did it with no problems. Thank you.

Excellent video! Thank you very much! Clear, concise and well done in every way.

Thank you! This smell is crazy, both filters needed to be replaced.

Thanks for the help. Just saved me some coin.

This was golden for my air filter and cabin air filter. Thx MAN

Probly most disliked ait filter set up ever

Thanks for the straight forward and clear instructions! Great idea on oiling/greasing the grommets for the next removal.

What brand hose clamp pliers did you use. That clamp is a pain in the rear end. Removing it is easy getting it back on is hard, not sure it’s meant to come off. Too bad the Germans couldn’t use a more user friendly clamp.

knocked this out today, thank you!

Sooo....the 5 numbered screws don't need to come completely out of the top piece of plastic AND a wiring harness attached that I couldn't get off, I just worked around it. Thank you from mom and teen daughter! That thing was filthy!

Thank you so much for this video. Can you please do more or as many videos as you can on a 2012 Volkswagen golf 2.5 5.L, it's the type of car I have & there aren't many videos on this particular year and model...it would appreciate it so much...

WOW!!!! Im still amazed how German car companies make their cars so overly simple to work on. 😳

Awesome video. I will try to do this. No telling when mine was changed last as car was used!

Worked for me and my gf on her car thanks a ton for the video.

Just got done with changing mine. Just a warning, I wouldn't do that method at 0:34 unless you don't have the tools to unscrew the two side bolts/screws. I tried it and part of the plastic clip snapped off with just a push of my finger lol..

Very informative excellent production even an idiot like me could do it now thanks

Great video. Thanks

My Volkswagen Jetta is missing that 'snooze' funnel air take end. It just ends in mid air after the plastic bendable tube. Car runs fine but I'd like to purchase and add that end. What is it called? Thank again for your thorough video.

I'm looking for the air intake cover removed at 0:34 for a Jetta 2013 2.5L Sportline, any tips on where to find that part?

Thank you for this video. I done exactly like you showed up. Everything is easy when good teacher-)

Great Video! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this

Doing this compared to my 3rd gen 4runner is a nightmare! Still not to hard though. Just a lot for something so simple

Thanks Adam, great video. 👍🏻

Awesome! Thanks or the DIY. Just picked up a 2013 Sportwagen recently. Going out to change the filter shortly.

Followed it exactly. Very good explanation!

Thanks for the great video! I replaced the filter and put everything back in order, but when I turn the car off I hear a beeping sound coming from that area? Is that a sensor that needs to be replaced or something else? Thank you!

Thanks this helped alot

Thank you for this helpful video.

What type of screws are used to hold the engine hose to the intake air duct? I had to purchase a new front intake and the hose keeps popping off from the duct. Kinda not sure what to do.

Is this the cabin air filter or the engine air filter?

Thank you!

What if u wanted to make your 2.5l have a performance intake? How would you help the sensor and all that stuff? Watched a video from a guy you get a lot more mpg and hp so u save money on gas

My car doesn't have the top cover of the intake fitler. Will that affect the my motor's power?

Excellent guide, thank you!

After struggling with this job, recently, Im buying some hose clamp pliers or an aftermarket engine cover. Please tell me someone makes an aftermarket engine cover for this engine.

Whoever put thumbs down must not know how to follow directions 😑

Very nice video. Thanks!

Appreciate the video. Really helped me out.

Gonna have to figure it out myself bc no mechanic wants to go through the hassle to change my air filter. Not sure if lazy or just don’t want to do it.

Very good video!!

THANKS MAN. Good info and details

Could you please post some of the Tdi maintenance, there are quite a few of them back into circulation around the Saint cloud area.

Thank you very much. Very helpful

Why does this guy remind me of Nate from The Office lol

Thank you!!!!

very good . thanks for the informative video .

Where is the MAF sensor on this engine?

Very well presented....Thank you.

awesome video, thank you very much

My intake tube is stuck, any tips on getting it removed?

I had issues making the screws go all the way down. Messed up some of them with the drill. Kind of a pain... besides that no other problems

What if my air intake part is missing? 😳 In the very beginning

Sir: I have a 2016 Passat 1.8 Ts. LF Headlight leaks. Do you have info on repair? Thanks, Hoppy

great video just install my air filter on my 2012 Passat SE

I just bought a 2011 yesterday, good things too know

Thank Ya Sir 🙏

You are the best

removing my air box is nearly impossible in my passat. i dont want to break it by applying to much force, what do you suggest i should do? can i spray wd-40 or some other lubricant to try and loosen it up?

Can someone share the dimension of the filter? It looks like 18.2 x 7.4 x 1.8 inches?

The screws only come out half way for me. Not sure why.

Very helpful video , thanks bro.

I try as you said , its broken

Nice tutorial.

Thank you so much! Could you do it with VW2006 Passat 2.0?

Thank you.

Good looking out. Where the heck is the oil filter on the 2012 Jetta? Trying to save my mother a few $ but VW’s are such a pain in the butt.

Nice job!!

Thumbs down to VW😅 excellent video

Nice job man

Thank Youuuuu so much

good video

nice done..

I own a rabbit and I hate this setup. But on another note great review !!! :)

Thank you 😊

Thank you I really preciate that boss

Getting that clamp back on is a bitch idk if it was just my clamp or what but it took me a good 45 minutes

I wonder, if the new Beetle (made after 2012) has got the same access to its air filter? Looks like little bit pain in the butt on those VW models...thanks for sharing..

I want to know the exact product # of the air filter..tnx

Very easy and simple thanks

air filter change interval?

I don't recommend it doing this in cold temperature I cracked off the corner of this cover due to the cold

I am new in Canada, wanted to replace the filter in the parking lot, but bastard neighboring old pensioners began to stink that I interfere with them here

All those plastic parts popped off so easily. I think someone epoxied them on my wife's Jetta.
