It will be possible to replace the air filter found in the Volkswagen Golf by opening the hood, allowing you to locate the components inside the engine compartment. On the right side of the engine compartment, you will be able to identify the filter box, which can be opened by loosening the screws that secure the cover.

This way, the filter inside can be removed, and the new replacement part can be inserted: it will be necessary to secure it in its housing by repositioning the cover and ensuring that everything works properly.
