Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Removing and installing air filter housing
| – |
Lift air cleaner housing -1-
off ball studs. |

Release hose clips -3- and

 Note
| If the air filter element is very dirty or wet, particles of
dirt or water may reach the components and falsify the measured
air mass value. This would lead to loss of power, since a
smaller injection quantity is calculated. |
| Always use genuine part for air filter element. |
| A clean air filter housing is essential. |
| Before fitting the air filter housing, the ball pins on the
intake manifold must be moistened with water without additives. |
| Hose unions and air intake pipes and hoses must be free of
oil and grease before installation. |
| Use a silicone-free lubricant when installing air hoses. |
| Secure all hose connections with the same type of hose clips
as original equipment
→ Electronic Parts Catalogue. |
| To prevent malfunctions, cover critical parts of the engine
air intake (air pipes etc.) with a clean cloth when blowing out
the air cleaner housing with compressed air. |
