K&N Air Filter

23000 kilometer

There are some very important things you should know about the stock intake in the MK7. Its actually a really good intake already and unless you are running a large turbo it will be more than enough, just as long as you put a high flow panel filter in like the K&N, AFE type filter.

Now onto how to replace this panel filter. You will need a T25 Torques bit and longer extension for it as some of the screws are in tight spaces. You will need to unscrew eight t25 torque screws, they are circled in red in the picture below.

The screws are not designed to come all the way out, at some point they will stop extracting and you will be able to pull them up a little but not fully out of the hole. Below shows how far the come up.

Once all 8 screws are up you can lift the right side of the cover up. You should be able to lift it up enough to remove the panel filter as shown below

I replaced it with a K&N oiled panel filter (Part Number: 33-3005)
