Hello,

IS it easy to replace the air filter on Octavia vRS? Does anybody have instructions how to do it?

thank you!

Nevermind i have just discovered search:)

Yes.

I have a link to a guide which I'll try to find for you.

Edit - beat me to it.

Actually i have found some links from you, but they seem not to work.

So it would still be nice if you could help me:)

thanks!

The swear filter will remove some of that link but you want - s w a n k m o n k e y.com

Once you have the cover off the filter is inside it - remove the screw from underneath and all will be revealed.

What air filter are you thinking of replacing the standard one with?

I have a piper cross one - no noticeable power increase but it sounds better - more induction noise.

The piper cross is foam with an oil based coating on it. I've heard that over time the oil based coating can cause problems with the MAF sensor as it gets coated with the grease from the oil. Anyone heard of this problem?

Well so far i would like to replace the normal filter as it seems i have a slight hesitation when accelerating at high revs, so i though may be it would be good to check if the filter is not cloged.

I am thinking about induction kit as well, but may be not now, as i want to install milltek pipe and induction at the same time. First i need to save some money for that:)

Have you seen this??

You might find it cheaper than you think.

Why not get it booked into a dealer to get it sorted? If you start messing with things you run the risk of invalidating your warranty.

**** it is difficult to remove the engine cover:) Why they did it so difficult i remember on my first VW golf it took 5 min to replace air filters:)

Why do i want to pay 65Euros\Hour for as simple job as chaging a filter, it will not void the warranty!
