Bison1379134007 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Just wondering if anyone has a pic of where the air filter is on the on Mk5 Golf GTI? Do you have to remove the engine cover to get to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burble Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 It's in the engine cover I think. From what I remember you need to take the plastic cover off, turn it upside down and then remove the 8 screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Google it - because a lot of people seem to say it is an absolute tw@t of a job to do and that the engine cover is prone to breaking during this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wrong found this DIY - Engine Cover Removal - VW GTI Forum / VW Rabbit Forum / VW R32 Forum / VW Golf Forum - Golfmkv.com and this VWVortex.com - Howto: Change FSI (2.0T) Air Filter [PICS] which seem to have all the details...
