Reviews of OEM Volkswagen air filter

So far, I changed spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel filter, air filter and I got a new battery.

Driven like it was stolen 55k miles I noticed that I've used a slight amount and the 1/5 amount is about what i have seen. I also noticed that it's been a little less since I cleaned my air filter.

I put in a new air filter

I did a oil change, fuel and air filter at this point.

Air filter replaced with a brand new one. Tested the car, monitored the fuel trims. It appeared that drive-ability has improved, however, the intermittent low fuel trims did not go away.

I've been waiting for all the replacement parts to come in to start tackling the Cabby Overhaul... Today I decided to have a look at the air filter... I was sort of shocked... but not entirely considering it had been sitting for a while before the previous owner picked it up a year ago. I was more shocked that the PO didn't swap out the filter. Man... as well as the car runs in its current state... I can only imagine how well she'll run after a much deserved tune up.

Didnt wanted \"racing\" air filter. So decided to convert old air box for my car.

This. You can even just cut up a conventional air filter from target or something and throw it on there. Better than nothing. But the mk3.5 - mk4 ones are plug and play, and relatively cheap.
