Guys like you making videos like these make the world a better place. Thanks champ. The tutorial super easy to follow.

Quick, simple, done in the time it takes for most vids to get through the intro. Thanks

LOL! Thanks for showing which way to press the three tabs on top. I thought they were connected to the rest of the car, not the air filter cover. So I was pushing them up! DOH!!! It works soooo much better your way! I still needed to put a butter-knife in one tab while I pressed on the other two tabs. The plastic tabs are super stiff and needed a lot of pressure.

The dealership wanted 119.99 to replace this. I bought the filter for 19.99 plus tax.

This great advice. Once you work out how to just push on the bottom tabs it does not need much pressure. I used a screwdriver as well. But before this getting the glovebox to drop down required a lot of pressure on the 2 tabs. I found that difficult. Then it needs another tug to get it to drop down all the way and the plastic slider drops out of its guide.

Thanks for this video. Dealer wanted $80 + tax to do this. I bought one for $12 and installed it in about 3 minutes.

Fine demo video. Just replaced my cabin filter. Easy efter watching your instruction. Thanks.

Thank you for this!! just swapped it out and the old one was solid black and had a leaves in it. Fans push more air now :D

Awesome video thanks for showing how to do this - £13 and an old black and dirty filter removed and my AC is now working great!

The Mann Frecious Plus filters are the best- not cheap but you're saving big $ by installing it yourself. They eliminate mould, odour and fine particulates and are especially helpful to allergy sufferers

Just changed my MK7 filter with 30.000km. Success!!

Thanks, I did this twice before but forgot how to do it. The clips are terrible, I almost had to break them to get the glovebox to open. Then the gear that slows the opening popped out, but you just put it back in with the bigger gear facing the outide of the car

Thanks for sharing this, fixed mine in 5 minutes once I knew where it was 👍🏻✅✅✅

I'm going to replace mine tomorrow as my front windscreen is always misting up at night time,and none of the rest of the windys mist up just the front..plus there is a strange smell, im guessing my pollen filter is knackered and needs replaced ASAP

Can I ask which Bosch pollen filter you chose as a replacement?

Great video, cheers from California 👍

Thanks a lot for sharing with us and saving quids !

Hi, which air filter brand you recommend for GTI MK7 ?

What happens when we smash the top slots that hold the three tabs of the cover

thanks. I cannot read the PN of the BOSCH filter, can you please say which PN it is?

Very helpful, thanks for posting.

Very good information, very good help, but how and where could we find a new filter ? Can't you give VW reference or link to shop please?

For the life of me I can't open the compartment so it'll drop down. The two "buttons" (left and right) are very rigid and won't budge. Using all my strength and nothing. I even tried with a metal piece as leverage but still nothing.

Thanks bro! The dealership was going to charge me $100 to change it for me!🙄

Thanks heaps bro! I appreciate you!

Can do video replace battery? Sorry my bad English.

Hi i push the clamps up butnthe glove box wont come down !?!?

Mine didn't open up that wide

Good!

What if I broke a clip?

I pressed and broke one

Arrows were up on my car

Great, ...only one comment: to put the stuff from the drawer on the dirty floor and then back ...is disgusting 🤮

@1:10 press the tabs "which" way. Down or Up ?? The arrows point up.. Either way with much force I can get no movement on the tabs. I'm about to forcefully rip the door off and cover it with duct tape. I figured out the issue. Seems the 3 PUSH DOWN tabs don't stick out far enough beyond the housing itself WHICH ALSO HAS 3 plastic tabs in the exact same position sandwiched just above it so it looks like ONE combined tab. Whose the VW idiot engineer who tortured us with that? I was trying to push down the housing tabs which don't move. Since its dark in there and the tabs are tightly sandwiched together (looking like one tab), I had to use a thin bladed screwdriver to separate the tabs, starting from the left. The obvious tabs at the bottom of the panel act to allow the panel to swing down. Don't break them like I did trying to remove the door from the bottom. It really needs a redesign.
