Change the filter yourself, as mentioned above, it's easy... and rest assured, if the above-mentioned goober can do it without setting off a CEL, you can do it too.  |
damn it!!..it only took about 5-6 minutes.
i also found out why that mechanic said about the engine light.
it's because they forgot to replug the cable on the side on that big tube, the tube that is going to filter housing.
i kinda left it unplug..and turn on the car, there the engine light is on..
getting the filter ..I went to Ontario VW here is SoCal.
at first i pick the stock filter..but then i saw on the wall next to parts counter..couple of boxes of K&N filters.
I asked the parts dude if they have K&N for my NB.
he said yes.
well..stock filter cost me $24.50, the K&N cost me $55.
guess which one i pick..
he told me that he own '00 NB and he still using the same K&N filter.
now i'm in the market for a bottle of K&N cleaning kit.
next mod,
19inch A8 rims..and remodified rear bumper..
Boogety..thanks!!!
