Changing Air Filters on a 92 Passat

Dave,

Thanks for the help!

I cannot take a snap of the engine - no attachments allowed from Google.

The car is a 92 Passat CL from North America - I have been trying to find specs on the web - but no links to show you.

I got my mechanic to do it. It cost some bucks - but got some other work done. Found an oil leak!

Nothing tricky accept for any hoses or lines that you may accidently forget to reinstall if you take them off.

BTW never force those oil change place people to do something they don't want to do! If they say they might damage something...........they probably will!
