Air Cleaner Element, 6-3/8 Diameter, 1-7/16 Tall, Paper

EMPI Air Cleaner Element - 6-3/8" x 1-7/16" Paper Replacement

VW Fitment & Compatibility

This replacement paper air cleaner element is designed for low-profile air cleaner assemblies commonly found on air-cooled VW engines. It is the direct replacement part for air cleaner assemblies 00-9076-00 and 00-9077-0. This element is specifically sized for Weber Progressive carburetors (DGV and DFEV series) used on VW Beetles, Karmann Ghias, and Dune Buggies where vertical engine bay clearance is a primary concern.

Pro Tech Tips from Appletree Auto

Inspect Your Gaskets: When replacing the element, always check the condition of the rubber seals on the top and bottom plates of your air cleaner housing. If the plates are warped or the seals are cracked, dirt can bypass the filter element entirely, causing internal engine damage.

Monitor for Dust Saturation: Unlike cotton gauze filters, this paper element cannot be washed or re-oiled. If you are running your VW off-road or in dusty conditions, check the pleats regularly; if the paper appears dark or grey, it is time for a replacement to maintain proper airflow and fuel mixture.

Verify Deck Lid Clearance: This 1-7/16 inch tall element is chosen specifically for its low profile. If you are upgrading from a standard oil bath cleaner to a Weber Progressive setup on a Beetle, ensure you use this specific height to prevent the air cleaner lid from hitting the underside of the deck lid or the rain tray.
