The K&N 12-19 Volkswagen Golf VII L4-2.0L F/I Performance Air Intake System is engineered to enhance engine airflow and boost horsepower and torque. Featuring a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) rotationally-molded tube, this intake system increases air volume efficiently while maintaining durability. It includes a washable, reusable High-Flow Air Filter with oiled cotton media, designed in an oversized, conical shape to allow up to 100,000 miles between filter cleanings under normal highway conditions. A custom heat shield protects the intake air from engine bay heat, ensuring cooler, denser air reaches the engine for improved performance. The system is designed for straightforward installation, typically completed in under 90 minutes.
This performance air intake system fits Volkswagen Golf VII models from 2012 to 2019 equipped with the 2.0L inline-4 engine. It serves as a direct replacement for the factory intake, providing a bolt-on upgrade suitable for street and daily driving applications. The kit includes the HDPE intake tube, high-flow air filter, and heat shield. Note that some versions of this intake may not be legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled vehicles in California; users should verify CARB compliance for their specific vehicle. This system is ideal for enthusiasts seeking reliable power gains and improved throttle response without extensive modifications.
