How do I Change the Air Filter in a 2000 Passat V6

Hi,



I am trying to install K&N filter in a 2000 Passat V6 sedan.



Where is the air filter compartment located?



I am sure this is an easy question but pointers would be appreciated.



Thanks.


The airfilter box is located on the right side of the engine bay. It has a plastic trim piece on top of it that pulls right off. There is also some intake tubing that needs to be pulled off. The box is held shut by 4 clips, each one is close to one of the corners of the box. There is also a heatshield held in place by 2 screws, remove those 2 screws. You will see a wiring harness and some other hoses across the top, remove those and from there you can work the top half up and out o the way, pull out old filter, drop in new filter and refit everything.

Kind of hard to explain, but not to hard to do.
