Overview of the Engine Air Filter & Replacement Maintenance

The engine air filter performs a vital function by filtering ambient air before it can be used for fuel induction. The ambient air mixed with fuel and injected into the engine's combustion chamber can sponsor a variety of debris that will wreak havoc on the engine. This scenario reveals that a relatively inexpensive filter made out of paper and plastic can cause major problems if left unattended. It is for this reason that the engine air filter has a short inspection and replacement interval recommended by Volkswagen for all models with an internal combustion engine. Replacement maintenance includes the removal of the old filter and installing a genuine OEM engine air filter to secure factory specifications.
