Detailed Description

Bosch Workshop Air Filter 5287WS uses a high-pleat panel design and cellulose cured media to capture airborne contaminants before they enter the engine intake system. The polyurethane seal is engineered to maintain elasticity and sealing performance while resisting water and heat exposure, helping preserve the filter surface and fit integrity over time. This makes the 5287WS a practical choice for drivers servicing a Volkswagen Cabrio, Jetta, or Golf with the correct factory-style air filter specification.

This part cross-references OE number 1H0129620 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Dust and road debris entering the engine intake
• Restricted airflow caused by a loaded or dirty air filter
• Loss of filtration efficiency during routine maintenance intervals
• Seal leakage around the air filter housing
• Reduced intake protection on Volkswagen Cabrio, Jetta, and Golf models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the Bosch 5287WS in the factory air filter housing for the listed Volkswagen applications. Inspect the air box, sealing surfaces, and intake tract before installation, and replace the filter if the old element shows heavy dirt loading, damage, or a compromised seal. Verify the part number against the vehicle’s existing filter specification before service.
