Replacing the Engine Air Filter on Volkswagen Up

Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Air filter

Replace the engine air filter on your Volkswagen Up. Follow these steps: open the car's door, pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, and lift the bonnet. Secure it with the prop rod. Using a socket spanner, remove the cover of the filter box. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the air box (where the air filter is located), disconnect the engine air intake hose and the metal clamp pin. Extract the worn air filter and insert a new one, ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the box. Finally, reassemble the air box and tighten the screws. Close the bonnet at the end. Check the correct installation of the previously mounted parts.
