Just how critical is the snow screen on the air filter box? Can it be removed without any consequence? The screen on 05 Passat seems small and could impede air flow. I have cleaned mine several times and found leaves and other small debris blocking the screen. It seems to me that removal of the screen would permit such debris to settle on the bottom of the air box and not impede air flow. Your input is appreciated.
