Video tutorial

Among the tasks in the maintenance schedule for the Volkswagen Lupo is the replacement of the air filter. To carry this out, place the vehicle on a lift and raise it to work underneath the engine.

Position yourself near the wheel on the passenger side; you will find the filter cover just behind the bumper. Using a T30 Torx key, unscrew the screws that hold it in place: to remove one, you will need to insert the screwdriver into a hole in the bumper.

Once the cover is removed, take out the old filter and replace it with a new one, ensuring correct installation. Close the cover, tighten it with its screws, and lower the lift.
