I used info from the AudiWorld
FAQ
to get the
K&N part numbers¹. The correct part number is
33-2125.
For opening the air box and
installing the new filter I used the
Air Filter Upgrade Options² by Steve Sherwood (also from
AudiWorld) plus info from the POWmotorsports knowledge base.
Update: Sadly,
POWmotorsports no longer exists, but Wetterauer
America has an excellent write-up with pictures of the 1.8T engine: Air
Filter installation Instructions³.
Here's some pictures of my own
install:
- Stock and K&N air filters
side-by-side.
|
 |
- V6 Air filter before cover is removed.
|
 |
- Cover removed. It's held in by a few
clips and can be removed by pulling straight up.
|
 |
- Mid-section of intake pipe removed. It
can be carefully pried off--there are no snaps or connectors.
Note: the intake mouth is secured by to screws in the grill
area and is NOT removed.
|
 |
- I had to disconnect this pipe on the
cover near the headlamps...
|
 |
- ...and this pipe near the wheel well
had to be unclamped to get enough clearance to remove the
stock filter.
|
 |
- Cover and intake replaced. Job done!
