It seemed like there was something vital missing throughout the whole video, then it hit me - the mechanic didn't utter a single swearword! I can tell it's gonna take most of my vocabulary to get this one

Thanks, guys. Great vid.

My wife was given a 2003 bug convertible and as fun as it is to scoot around in everything on this car seems to be a struggle to do. I'm pulling the air filter to get to the brake fluid reservoir cap to check the level and from watching this video it is going to take some muscle to get that cover off. Thanks.

Good video that gets straight to the point with full explanation. Well done 👍. Thank you.

thank you for the help, I was able to change my filter in 10 minutes for the cost of parts alone. also found out that my mechanics forgot to put the o ring back on mine the last time i got it changed 😃😃😃

Thanks for the vid. The design on that air cleaner couldn't have been too much worse. Most everything on a beetle is designed very well, though.

Nothing graceful for this job. You just fight it and win..

1.8turbo? The engine cover says 2.0! Never mind, all the filters are the same lol

What is the name of the hose pulled at 1:20?

The struggle isn't unique. They couldn't have packed that in any tighter.

[cmcquaigue]

Thanks so much - helps to confirm what I was thinking to do - love you guys, your videos have helped me a lot!

[bassmusicman]

lol it's not always as easy as it seems... I called my vw beetle everything I could changing parts...they could have made it so much easier but that wouldn't be fair to the public

Mine looks different I have a 2004 New Beetle Convertible GLS with Turbo.

Looks like something going to break pushing it in

Not the working mans vehicle it started it's life as... more of the cussing man's vehicle.

Blow my mind why anybody would want to buy a VW vehicle if any kind. I don’t understand how they even stay in business. All this trouble for a air filter.
