Simple request - where abouts in the engine bay is it? I had a good look on Sunday and saw nothing resembling an air filter box, but there's plenty of rubber hose! Polos and Skodas use the same 1.4 TDi engine.

Not saying am correct here but normally the intake filter is within an oblong box/possibly square on the nearside/offside side off car under bonnet.not knowing VAG I cannot say but if it looks like the tube runs from big box to air intake could be it.again not sure ?

The box you describe is what I've been looking for and there's no sign of one!

Same situation with my Passat!
Think that on mine you have to remove a cover behind the offside head lamp before all is revealed.Was replaced for the first time , at 40,000 miles, recently.
My old BMC ones were black at 5000 miles. How has the technology changed?
