Hi!

I'm new to the site, and have following question:

Can anyone advise on access to, and removal of, the air filter, as my local Skoda dealer didn't have a clue? I've just bought a K&N panel filter (no induction kit available yet) and would like to swap with standard filter.

Have no idea whether K&N is 'approved' by Skoda uk ie for warranty purposes, although Revo remap (with select switch) is already ouside this. Here's hoping!

There are around 3-4 different induction kits available for the new octy vRS (Neuspeed / Evolution / Carbonio / Forge - Try google looking for Mk5 Golf induction kits, Awesome GTi do the neuspeed and carbonio) , to remove the filter you have to remove the engine cover as the filter is integral to this. Once the engine cover is removed, flip it over and you will see a series of screws underneath, undo those, prize it apart and you will see the filter.

if / when you go to remove the engine cover you will need to remove the intake from the engine cover and I would disconnect the plug going to the MAF to be on the safe side. The engine cover requires a fairly hefty pull to get it off, and keep an eye out for the mounting grommets as they tend to come away with the cover.

hope this helps
