Follow these steps carefully
Mk4 (2007-2014): filter by the accelerator pedal; the pedal has to come out. Mk5 (2014-2022): filter behind the glove box. Check first, since getting this wrong wastes an hour. Park on level ground, parking brake set, ignition fully off.
Mk4: undo the three 10 mm pedal bracket nuts, then unplug the pedal connector plus the small blue connector nearby so the pedal drops clear. Lay the pedal aside without yanking the wiring. On 2015-and-newer cars, skip this step.
Mk4: back out the three 7 mm screws on the housing cover and lift it away. Don't lever against the ductwork; aged plastic cracks, and a cracked cover whistles at highway speed. Keep the screws in a tray.
Mk5: pop off the end panel and air-outlet trim. Under the glove box, remove the two 7 mm bolts; leave the four larger airbag-module bolts alone. Remove the two screws at the top of the glove box.
Those four larger bolts hold the passenger airbag module — do not touch them. I flag this on every Mk5 because one curious owner with a socket set is all it takes to turn a filter job into a very bad day.
Mk5: lift the glove box out, unplugging the light connector first. Behind it is the filter access door on two Phillips screws; remove them, swing the door open, and note the old filter's position and airflow arrow.
Slide the old filter out and insert the new one with its airflow arrow matching the old filter's direction. Vacuum or wipe the empty housing, especially the leaf debris at the bottom of the Mk4's cowl-side housing.
Refit the cover or glove box (Mk4: bolt the pedal back on and reconnect both connectors). Start the car, run the fan on full through every mode, and confirm strong, even airflow; a weak vent means the filter is crooked.
In my experience, if the fan sounds louder than before or one vent barely blows, the filter is crooked in the slot. Pull it and reseat it square — cramming it harder just folds the pleats.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
