Product Description

The Arrowhead Air Cleaner Box is an essential component of your vehicle’s air filtration system, designed to house the air filter and ensure clean air is supplied to the engine. This assembly helps protect your engine from dust, debris, and other contaminants that can affect performance and longevity. Its robust plastic construction and precise fitment features make it suitable for selected Audi and Volkswagen models.

This air cleaner box is compatible with specific Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. It is particularly suited for models such as the Audi A1 1.6TDI and Volkswagen Polo 6R 1.2TDI and 1.6TDI. Please confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing your order to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a faulty or damaged air cleaner box include poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, increased engine noise, irregular idling, and the presence of unfiltered air entering the engine. You may also notice the air filter becoming dirty more frequently or loose connections in the air intake system.

Replace the air cleaner box if you detect cracks, broken mounting points, or if the box no longer seals properly around the air filter. Regular inspection is recommended, especially if you drive in dusty environments or notice a decrease in engine performance.
