How To: VW 2.5L Air Filter Replacement for Jetta, Golf, Passat, or Sportwagen | Eich Motor Company

- čas přidán 24. 07. 2024
- Most Volkswagen models from 2005 up to 2014 came equipped with a unique 5-cylinder engine. The engine was available on the Jetta, the Passat (2012-2014), and the Golf. Replacing the air filter on this motor is a little different than other VWs. Watch as Adam Means demonstrates the proper replacement procedure.

Why would someone give this video a thumbs down? Clear and to the point, good camera, and no crappy music.
Though there are legitimate reasons to give a thumbs down, some fine folks on CZcams simply do it just for the sake of doing it. The "thumbs down count party" on CZcams is finally over, though, since that counter is no longer visible to anyone except the video owner.
@@kiomarv you'd also be surprised how often people just miclick the button. especially on mobile, when people are attempting to scroll down to the comments or fast forward the vid, the dislike button happens to be around where you'd place ur thumb.
Some people are just in this world we live
Because he didn't come to my house and change my air filter!
Saved me 💰💰by watching this video. Ordered the same brand air filter the VW dealership uses and it only cost me $15 vs. $50-$100 at the dealership. Thank you!
what was the brand name? about to do mine this weekend!
Yeah, can you post a link please .... I'd like to do mine too
Hey great tip, when you take off that first hose clamp, remember to go up, and not down over the soft plastic intake tube like I did. I literally had to fight for like 35 minutes to get that clamp off and back where it belonged.
That clamp is horrible. I pulled it the right way and still had trouble getting it back on
You to lol. Something so simple as going up with the clamp, will save some frustration.
Hahaha did the same exact thing when replacing my spark plugs. It was a nightmare
same thing, was a nightmare.
Thank you! All in saved me $118 bucks from what dealer would have charged. Much appreciated!
the dealer always charges so much its hilarious!
Great video, I was ready to throw out the whole cover because of my distaste for it weeks ago never realized the filter was attached until trying to replace it today lol.
i wanted to throw out the cover too. i opened it up and realized the airbox is hidden under it. guess its got to stay on
worked just as advertised great video
Thank you! Saved me a $100 filter change from the dealer. Thanks a lot!
Thanks man, I'm no DIY guy but I watched your video and got it done.
Amazing video ! Descriptive , to the point, no bias bull , very well explained , professional
I totally agree- great simple clear instructions
Excellent video! Thank you very much! Clear, concise and well done in every way.
ohh my Goshh! that is so much work for a little air filter. ARGGG
I've done it on my beetle takes about 10 mins and saved me $80
German cars...
Over engineered German poop
No it's not 😂
Germans…..
This was golden for my air filter and cabin air filter. Thx MAN
Worked for me and my gf on her car thanks a ton for the video.
Two tricks to make it easier. 1, use wd40 or silicone spray with a straw to spray the two front ones before taking it off. 2, use a clip removing tool or a screw driver to push up on the front rubber mounts. Allot better than risking cracking the plastic.
Followed it exactly. Very good explanation!
knocked this out today, thank you!
This is such a greatly done video, your instruction are easy to follow. But sadly I wasn't strong enough to pop up the air box I tried so damn hard and got stuck at that step. I had to eventually have a guy friend come help. I sent them your video and he came by did it with no problems. Thank you.
Thanks for the help. Just saved me some coin.
And less than 10 minutes! :)
Thanks Adam, great video. 👍🏻
Oh hohh man you made it look so easy I ended up cracking my housing but only the shallow part I had to take it off the complete opposite way you did it or else I would of ripped the housing in half but it was worth it because the previous owner never changed the filter and it's the original factory one inside after 149k miles!! Besides that I just used alittle sealant to bind the crack I just made but thanks for the video 😆😎
Thanks for the straight forward and clear instructions! Great idea on oiling/greasing the grommets for the next removal.
Thank you! This smell is crazy, both filters needed to be replaced.
Thank you for this video. I done exactly like you showed up. Everything is easy when good teacher-)
Excellent guide, thank you!
Very helpful video , thanks bro.
THANKS MAN. Good info and details
Awesome video. I will try to do this. No telling when mine was changed last as car was used!
Very well presented....Thank you.
Appreciate the video. Really helped me out.
Thank you Much! Otherwise i would probably end up sawing of the cover. 😁
Thank you for this helpful video.
Could you please post some of the Tdi maintenance, there are quite a few of them back into circulation around the Saint cloud area.
Very good video!!
Thank you very much. Very helpful
Very nice video. Thanks!
Great Video! Thanks!
Nice job man
very good . thanks for the informative video .
I had issues making the screws go all the way down. Messed up some of them with the drill. Kind of a pain... besides that no other problems
You are the best
Frigging Germans make everything so damn difficult.
awesome video, thank you very much
Great video. Thanks
Thank you so much for this
Nice tutorial.
Thank you so much for this video. Can you please do more or as many videos as you can on a 2012 Volkswagen golf 2.5 5.L, it's the type of car I have & there aren't many videos on this particular year and model...it would appreciate it so much...
Thanks for the great video! I replaced the filter and put everything back in order, but when I turn the car off I hear a beeping sound coming from that area? Is that a sensor that needs to be replaced or something else? Thank you!
Nice job!!
My Volkswagen Jetta is missing that 'snooze' funnel air take end. It just ends in mid air after the plastic bendable tube. Car runs fine but I'd like to purchase and add that end. What is it called? Thank again for your thorough video.
Awesome! Thanks or the DIY. Just picked up a 2013 Sportwagen recently. Going out to change the filter shortly.
How did it go? I just got a 2013 wagon and need to do this.
Einstein said: “Simplicity Is Genius!”
Thank-You! 🎓
Probly most disliked ait filter set up ever
tyler jenkins yup. Takes way longer than any of my other vehicles. Oh well
Right on that I hate German cars now so much work just to change air filter
Absolutely.. I was like wth damn germans , wait I'm german spaniard lol
This, and the oil filter replacement. Guaranteed mess!!!!! Why don't they use a normal spin-on filter instead of a cartridge? My 1962 MG had a similar setup and I hated it! German engineers must be sadists to force people to torture themselves and then laugh at us.
Thanks this helped alot
Very informative excellent production even an idiot like me could do it now thanks
Your video's great. I just can't understand why the silly engineers at VW decided to make the filter replacement such a minor pain in the buttocks.
i assume its because they wanted to stick the airfilter housing under the engine cover to make the engine bay look neat. just your standard german engineer things!
@@fruitygranulizer540 maybe but I've heard that VW thought that consumers were going to be afraid of the intake sound. So they tried mute it. Funny it's still pretty loud. VW also handicapped the performance of this engine to not hurt GTI TSI sales.
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7ooits a shame because its such a fun engine
Thank you I really preciate that boss
Sooo....the 5 numbered screws don't need to come completely out of the top piece of plastic AND a wiring harness attached that I couldn't get off, I just worked around it. Thank you from mom and teen daughter! That thing was filthy!
Sir: I have a 2016 Passat 1.8 Ts. LF Headlight leaks. Do you have info on repair? Thanks, Hoppy
Thank you!
My intake tube is stuck, any tips on getting it removed?
great video just install my air filter on my 2012 Passat SE
Thank you 😊
good video
What brand hose clamp pliers did you use. That clamp is a pain in the rear end. Removing it is easy getting it back on is hard, not sure it’s meant to come off. Too bad the Germans couldn’t use a more user friendly clamp.
Just did mine with regular pliers. Pliers have to open far and close clamp all the way. Once I had it squeezed all the way I went left, right, left, right. Next time I'm going up with the clamp.
Thank you!!!!
Doing this compared to my 3rd gen 4runner is a nightmare! Still not to hard though. Just a lot for something so simple
Gonna have to figure it out myself bc no mechanic wants to go through the hassle to change my air filter. Not sure if lazy or just don’t want to do it.
I'm looking for the air intake cover removed at 0:34 for a Jetta 2013 2.5L Sportline, any tips on where to find that part?
I need that one too....
My car doesn't have the top cover of the intake fitler. Will that affect the my motor's power?
Thank you so much! Could you do it with VW2006 Passat 2.0?
Sure thing, we'll post one soon!
The screws only come out half way for me. Not sure why.
Thank you.
Thank Youuuuu so much
What if u wanted to make your 2.5l have a performance intake? How would you help the sensor and all that stuff? Watched a video from a guy you get a lot more mpg and hp so u save money on gas
You can put a performance intake on and get rid of that whole air box/cover. But unfortunately you will get a check engine light
After struggling with this job, recently, Im buying some hose clamp pliers or an aftermarket engine cover. Please tell me someone makes an aftermarket engine cover for this engine.
nice done..
Just got done with changing mine.
Just a warning, I wouldn't do that method at 0:34 unless you don't have the tools to unscrew the two side bolts/screws. I tried it and part of the plastic clip snapped off with just a push of my finger lol..
Do it like how this dude does it (if he had the screws) czcams.com/video/WyxXCfL0tC8/video.htmlsi=p6dAj-Oi3jUfwrxR&t=32
No broken pieces
What type of screws are used to hold the engine hose to the intake air duct?
I had to purchase a new front intake and the hose keeps popping off from the duct. Kinda not sure what to do.
Dod you ever find a solution. I'm currently in that same boat.
@@420juanpablo sadly no 🤦🏾♀️. Still using duct tape. I’ve called VW and never got a straight forward answer. The diagram on the VW site is the closest I’ve gotten to possibly figuring out which type of screw is needed. Def isn’t a regular screw. It’s more like a bolt I guess.
Please lmk if you find anything
Can someone share the dimension of the filter? It looks like 18.2 x 7.4 x 1.8 inches?
I just bought a 2011 yesterday, good things too know
Me too. How often do you replace the engine air filter? My seller didnt have a manual...😑
@@GroveStreetCoves I'm owner of 2011 jetta too and I was told to replace air filter everytime I change oil. So every 7k miles I guess.
@@GroveStreetCoves VW says every 60k or more frequently if driving in dusty conditions. I would replace sooner or at least check it and clean sooner. Only a $10 part though.
@@GroveStreetCoves Once a year should be fine unless you're in some severe driving conditions.
@@SchweitzerDave I drive in Minnesota where there are 5-6 months of snow and salt
WOW!!!! Im still amazed how German car companies make their cars so overly simple to work on. 😳
😄 Right?!
You are not qvalified to verk on zees cars.
Thank Ya Sir 🙏
Very easy and simple thanks
Mario Vasquez easy and simple my left ass. Like his tutorial is fine, but the amount of work to check an air filter is absolutely ridiculous.
removing my air box is nearly impossible in my passat. i dont want to break it by applying to much force, what do you suggest i should do? can i spray wd-40 or some other lubricant to try and loosen it up?
I agree! For the life of me, I can't get the engine cover off my 2013 Jetta. Someone further up the thread mentioned spraying WD40 or silicone near the grommet area but I don't see how I can do this. If the grommets are all so firmly lodged beneath the cover, I can't really spray them until I get the cover off. Aaaaargh. A pox upon the house of VW for making this so absurdly hard.
Where is the MAF sensor on this engine?
I wonder, if the new Beetle (made after 2012) has got the same access to its air filter? Looks like little bit pain in the butt on those VW models...thanks for sharing..
Probably not, the beetles were redesigned didn't use the same design in 2012 (I believe they went to a 4cyl version)
Beetles made before 2014 equipped with the 5 cylinder engine will have a very similar procedure.
The 5-cylinder was available until the 2014 models.
Good looking out.
Where the heck is the oil filter on the 2012 Jetta?
Trying to save my mother a few $ but VW’s are such a pain in the butt.
I own a rabbit and I hate this setup. But on another note great review !!! :)
What if my air intake part is missing? 😳 In the very beginning
I try as you said , its broken
Why does this guy remind me of Nate from The Office lol
Is this the cabin air filter or the engine air filter?
Engine air filter. Cabin air filter is inside the car underneath the glove box behind a foam panel
air filter change interval?
Volkswagen recommends every other oil change, but its always a good idea to check it regularly to see if its dirty and needs replacement.
I want to know the exact product # of the air filter..tnx
C 43 102. OEM is made by Mann Filter.
Getting that clamp back on is a bitch idk if it was just my clamp or what but it took me a good 45 minutes
Thumbs down to VW😅 excellent video
I don't recommend it doing this in cold temperature I cracked off the corner of this cover due to the cold
Whoever put thumbs down must not know how to follow directions 😑
You think you could make your logo a little more invasive ...like right in the middle of the screen?
I guess you could just pay attention to the content and ignore it like I did, or just go make your own video.
wow what a pain in the ass for a filter change
