Air filter box

The previous owner removed the air box and rigged a conical air filter right off the maf sensor. Its hose clamped right to it. The vacuum intake is the same way, they siliconed a tiny conical air filter to the end of the vacuum line. It just hangs there. I am trying to find the air filter box to put things back to normal. My question is will an air filter box off a gas engine work in my tdi? Its a 2000 tdi with the 1.9. The junk yard has 10 jettas and 2 golfs, but i dont know if any are TDI’s. It would make it a lot easier if they were interchangable? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I did a search on eBay. The gassers appear to be different. PM sent.

We don't do gassers, but it appears that both the 2.slow and 1.8T use the same filter as a TDI. So the airbox and snorkel on a Jetta and Golf should be the same. New Beetle may be different. However, I'm not sure the MAF is the same, and the MAF to turbo inlet pipe is certainly different. But you may already have those items.

Gas ones are different, as they usually have SAI so there is a big port for that tube plus most do not have the nipple to vent vacuum from the EGR and VNT control solenoids.

I may have a TDI airbox at home, though, and I am local to you. Let me check tonight.

I sent you a pm.
