Air filter replacement for Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Air filter

To ensure a constant flow of clean air to the engine of the Volkswagen Polo, we must replace the air filter at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. To do this, we open the hood of the engine compartment. Using pliers, we release the clamps of the inlet and outlet pipes to the filter box and remove them, as well as disconnect the valve fitting, extract the filter box and rotate it. Using a cross-head screwdriver, we unscrew the screws that secure the cover, open it and remove the old filter, replace it with a new one and close the cover by securing it with its screws. We put the filter box back in place, reconnect the pipes and the valve.
