Engine Air Filter Replacement

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Air filter

The engine air filter housing (air box) is located right next to the front shock absorber strut: unscrew the fastening screws of the cover (just loosen them without removing), lift it, and extract the old filter; remove any dirt residues from inside the filter box using a vacuum cleaner rather than compressed air and insert the new filter, ensuring the seal adheres to the edges of the box; finally, apply the cover by tightening the respective fastening screws. The new air filter will allow the engine to draw in the correct airflow, improving performance and fuel efficiency.
