Off the top of my head remove the torx screws in the lid, remove cover, remove filter.

Fitment is reversal of removal  :grin:

It really is one of the simplest jobs on the MK4

No not torx...2 Phillips screws and work lid out the clips. 2 minute job!
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
