Product Description

The K&N 33-3111 is a direct-fit replacement panel air filter engineered for the shared Volkswagen Group MQB-platform 1.0L and 1.5L engines found in the Golf VII, Golf Sportsvan, and Golf VIII. Its layered cotton gauze media is designed to deliver higher airflow than the factory paper filter, helping support engine performance while continuing to trap the dirt and debris needed to protect the engine over the long term.

Rather than replacing a disposable paper filter every 12,000-15,000 miles, this filter can be cleaned and reoiled, typically going up to 75,000 miles between services under normal highway driving. It installs directly into the factory air box using the stock mounting points, so no cutting, drilling, or intake modifications are required.

This filter is a practical, reusable upgrade for Golf VII, Golf Sportsvan, and Golf VIII owners with the 1.0L or 1.5L engine looking to reduce long-term filter costs while keeping the factory intake setup. Given the number of engine and body variants this part spans, confirming your exact model and engine code is recommended before ordering.
