Air filter replacement - 2.5 Volkswagen jetta, golf, passat
The Germans always were masters at engineering things to be the hardest and most difficult to work on.
so true 👍
I was about to break that cover out..because I didn't know where the filter was..but now is done right thanks for the video bro...keep up..
Thank you for explaining & being detailed 💞
Thanks man really helpful!!!
Just got done with changing mine.
Warning to others, at 1:08 he moves the snap ring to the bottom and damages the tube thingy. If you're able to, move it UP instead (assuming you have room). In the video doesn't look like he has room to do that, not his fault.
BUT when he puts the tube back 4:52, I don't think he had to shove the tube ALL the way up there. Leave a bit of room so that next time you have to take that snap ring off, you'll have extra space next time to put the snap ring UP onto the stronger/more rigid tube instead of DOWN onto the flexible/soft concordia tube thingy.
LIke how this dude does it

Everything else was spot on in the video for me. TY!
ALSO try to keep the snapring prong part where you squeeze it with the pliers CENTERED when you let go of it.
If it rotates too much to the left or right, your pliers might hit the walls and you won't have enough room to be able to grab those prongs until you have to take off the whole housing and rotate it lol like I had to.
do i have to move the snap ring ? it looks like it will come off any way
@@zcam1969 You do, unless it's not in the right spot to begin with.
@@MeepMeep88 your right , i took it off .the hard part is prying the cover grummets off the studs
@@zcam1969 Yea I destroyed one of mine lol. There's no trick, lol just gotta rip it off.
THe rubber becomes so brittle from the heat/weather I don't think there's any way you can take it off safely. I'll have to replace one of my grommets
I don't think I'll have the local Valvoline place do this! Going to a shop familiar with these steps.
@@mondo9.2.5 LOL! I'm a woman (not a feminist) so sometimes I like to leave some of the 'fun' to the men. I did change my ignition wires once! And easy to access air filters : )
Used to work at valvoline, pretty much all German cars they don't even bother touching the air filter lol, too much of a hassle
@@Spudlol I did find a Valvoline that did it but it was because one of their guys specifically KNEW how to. Not the norm. I watched them. It worked out great!
Good video. I wish I could find a carb legal replacement that is easier to take off.
Good job man thankyou
Thank you.
Nice video thanks
The Rabbit too!
😊
Excuse me sir, what is a speedle?😂😂😂😂❤
Haha
@@603Mechanicvids sir this was a legit question I don't understand...
Please don't laugh at me🥺🥺
Hey there just wondering about the 2nd sensor, you dont have it?.does it nit harm it to not use it?
I bought mine and its not hooked up either.
where is your 2nd sensor located?
@@603Mechanicvids Oh I think they mean the part your grab at 0:55. It has a sensor on my 06 Rabbit that is connected to that circular corner on the right side. Probably a California emissions thing
a good presentation but not applicable for my 2009 VOLKSWAGEN jetta.
Why this stuff so complicated?😊
