Replacing the Engine Air Filter

Model: Volkswagen Sharan MK 1, 7M - Years 1995-2010
Part: Air filter

Replacing the engine air filter is extremely simple and does not require special precautions; open the front bonnet and locate the filter box situated just behind the left front headlight (driver's side); unscrew the fixing screws of the cover, lift it and remove the old filter; remove the internal support grille, eliminate any dirt residues inside the filter box, reposition the grille and insert the new filter, ensuring the seal adheres perfectly to the edges before screwing the cover back on.
