I've changed the air filter for my Golf 6 several times by myself. It's a simple job that saves on repair costs. First, make sure the car is parked and the engine is cooled down. Open the hood and locate the rectangular black box at the front of the engine compartment—that's the home of the air filter. Use a screwdriver to loosen the small screws or plastic clips around the box and gently remove it. Carefully take out the old filter, being cautious not to let dust enter the pipes, and discard it. Compare the new Golf 6-specific filter you bought, align it with the slots inside the box, and press it firmly into place. Finally, close the box and tighten the screws. The whole process takes less than ten minutes, and all you need is a screwdriver and gloves. Regularly replacing the filter keeps the engine breathing smoothly, lowers fuel consumption, and makes driving smoother.
