VW Golf MK5 / Golf R / Passat / Audi A3 8P 2.0T Aluminium Cold Air Intake

Product Overview

This aluminium cold air intake is listed for a group of Volkswagen and Audi models using 2.0T and 2.0 TSI turbocharged engines, including the Golf MK5, Golf R, Passat and Audi A3 8P. It replaces the factory intake housing with an aluminium pipe and open filter, giving the turbo a freer path for incoming air and introducing a more noticeable induction note to everyday driving.

Key Features and Benefits

• Aluminium intake construction
• Open filter for reduced restriction
• Listed for several VW and Audi 2.0T models
• More audible turbo and intake sound
• Upgrade for the factory air box
• Serviceable filter for long-term use

Vehicle Compatibility

The supplier names the Volkswagen Passat, Golf R, Golf MK5 and Audi A3 8P with 2.0T or 2.0 TSI engines. Multiple year ranges from 2006 to 2019 are quoted without matching them to specific models, and the engine generation is unclear. Fitment is supplier-stated and uncertain, so please confirm compatibility before ordering.

Installation and Usage

Fitting usually involves removing the original air box and inlet pipe, placing the airflow sensor and fitting the new tube, filter and couplers. All breather connections and sensors must be reattached, and clamps tightened to avoid air leaks. Check clearance around the battery tray and bonnet. Professional installation is recommended, especially as several engine versions were used across these models. Inspect and clean the filter regularly.
