Transcription of this Video

Today, we are going over on how to replace an air filter on 2.0 TSI engine. This is going to be on a 2013 CC. Tools required for this job are hose clamp pliers, a 3/8 Ratchet, and a 3-inch extension with a T25 torx.

As mentioned earlier, the T25 torx will remove the eight screws that hold the top of the airbox at the bottom of the airbox. They are mounted at either side of this pipe and then around the perimeter of the airbox itself.

We can start removing this hose and it is best to take off the mass airflow sensor connector and the hose clamp. After that, we will remove all the screws and remove the top of the airbox.

To remove the squeeze clamps on the other side, there’s a clip on the top and at the bottom of where the clamp is on. When you squeeze the side, it releases the tension which allows the clip off. The best thing to do is squeeze it and then kind of rock it. You will see they are clipped on this part and at the bottom. Sometimes, they can be pretty challenging to get off but once you rock it back and forth just a bit, you can get it off.

We will go through to remove the electrical connector for the mass airflow connector sensor. You do so by just pushing down right on the selection connector and pulling it off.
Now, we are going to go ahead to remove the spring clamp that holds the air intake on to the mass airflow sensor. All you need is a pair of spring clamp pliers to remove it. These are specifically design for this style clamp, but you also can just use a standard set of pliers. Pump it on there, squeeze it and slide it off to let it go and then let it stay there. After that, you can just remove this pipe, slide off the mass airflow sensor and you are done.
Now, we are going to go ahead and remove the eight screws that hold it on. Once we have done them all loose, we can just remove the cover. This particular air filter is for vehicle for around 2000 miles. If you take a look, you will see some dirt spots around here and on the side. You can pay that to a brand new filter. Some of the newer filters have a different type of orange while this one is kind of pink around the rubber seal. However, if you take around the filters, they are significantly different in color overall.

Now, on top of offering the Volkswagen air filter, we also offer a K&N version. They are reusable so they are lifetime filters. You would not need to replace, just clean it, get a recharge kit and reuse it at your service interval.

When you have your new filter, just drop them in place and make sure that it is inside all the box area so your filter is not pulling outside of the edge. Grab the top, mount it back on and make sure the screws are all lined up. Start tightening the screws. When these are all tight, slide the pipe back on and it should pop on pretty easily to the mass airflow sensor. To reinstall the clamp, squeeze it, slide it back where it is mounted and let it go. Make sure it is on this channel all the way around because sometimes it will rotate one way or another. Plug the mass airflow sensor connector back in. There is clamp on the side of the pipe where the wire is holding to make sure it does not get away of anything. Finally, all you have to do is to install the second air hose on the front. All you have to do is push it on and snap it on place.

That is how you install an air filter on 2.0 TSI Volkswagen CC.
