2006 Audi A3 2.0FSI/VW MK5 Golf Carbonio Intake System Installation Instructions

Please take the time to fully read over these instructions before attempting to install the kit. This will greatly speed up the installation process and minimize any difficulties you may encounter.
Tools Required:
- Large opening pliers
- Torx T-20 socket tip
- Ratchet with extensions
- Flat head screwdriver
- Phillips head screwdriver

Step 1: Using a torx head socket, remove the 2 screws that hold the OEM inlet scoop to the front radiator support of the car. Save these screws as they are used again later.
Step 2: Using pliers, loosen the spring clamp that holds the inlet scoop to the engine cover / airbox. Once loose, remove the OEM inlet scoop.
Step 3: Disconnect the wire that leads to the MAF sensor by depressing its fixing clip and by pulling apart.
Note that the fit will be snug however if too much force is necessary, then the fixing clip is not being depressed enough.
Step 4: Using a flat head screwdriver, unclip the two metal clips that hold the OEM inlet tube to the OEM engine cover / airbox.
Step 5:
Separate the OEM inlet tube from the OEM engine cover / airbox.
Step 6: The OEM engine cover / airbox is held in place by 4 rubber grommets. Remove the engine cover / airbox by grabbing its sides and sharply pulling up. It may take a few tugs but it will come off. Once off. Make sure that the 4 mounting rubber grommets are still in the holes on the lid. Sometimes they separate from the lid and remain on the mounts located atop the engine. If this happens, remove the rubber mounts by hand and re-install them on the plastic engine lid.
Step 7: Turn the OEM engine cover over and loosen the Phillips head screws that hold the airbox to the lid. Once this is done, separate the 2 halves and remove the OEM paper air filter
Replace the filter for the foam filter included in the kit and re-assemble the engine cover / airbox by reversing the steps performed above. Do not re-install this assembly at this time.
NOTE: DO NOT OIL THE FILTER. IT IS A DRY DESIGN AND IS READY TO USE
Step 8: Using a torx tip and an extension, install the carbon fiber inlet scoop in the location of the OEM scoop removed in Step # 1. Be sure to use the screws saved from Step # 1 at this time.
