that's if you have a fully blown induction kit...you can however follow this guide up to stage 6..where you then open up the air box on the engine cover and then replace the panel filter, then re-install the cover!...hope this helps

On the mk2 tdi there are about 8 x head screws holding the cover down, unscrew them all, lift the top, remove filter, fit new filter, tighten down screws.....done
If it just a panel filter then you need to remove the engine cover to fit it. Unclip the filter hose at the front of the engine bay and unclip it at the back of the engine where the airflow metre is. you then need to pop the cover off, normally grabbing it at opposite/diagonal corners and leavering it does the trick. Once you have it off, you will need to undue some torx screw on the underside of it, open it up and replace the filter, and roberts your fathers brother

it's not! it's basically about yanking the cover off and opening the airbox and then replacing the filter! close back up, push back on and done!
I got mine off a member on here and he fitted it for me, he just undid the 8 screws slotted it in and did it up again... made it look simple
I thought the same with mine last week, but once you've unscrewed and found all the 8 screws the cover just pops off, drop the filter in then cover on and screw in the screws. Should take no longer than 10 minutes to do

An update
So, time for an update.
I had a go at fitting the air-filter over the weekend. A friend helped me.
After yanking the engine bay cover free (this took a surprisingly large amount of effort), the flipped the cover over to remove the panel filter. However, having undone the 8 screws, we still couldnt access the panel. We therefore removed the metal covering, and found 10 clips which needed to be pushed in. We couldnt do it, so gave up!
So, if you managed to fit it in 10mins, well done. However, as an amateur, it takes a lot longer.
If anyone in London fancies some simple money for doing the job, seeing as its 'quick and easy to do', let me know and ill happily contribute to your Christmas!

Hello, I could do it for you. Done mine on my 07' cupra.
I live in Greenford, W London, if you can get to me I'll do it for you.

Thanks KK
Did you ever get this fitted & if so has it made much difference?
I'm thinking about treating myself for xmas but don't really know what to get when it comes to air filter - I obvisouly want performance but sound is as important to me I think!! Love the sound of a good engine lol
