Let's see how to remove the engine air filter on a Volkswagen Tiguan. Open the car door, pull up the lever to open the engine bay located at the bottom left of the dashboard, and lift the front bonnet.

Open the air intake kit (unscrew the tightening screws with a screwdriver), uncover the filter box panel and extract the worn air filter. Insert a new filter into the designated housing (ensuring it fits snugly around the edges).
