C 37 153/1 Engine Air Filter Panel for VW Jetta Golf Beetle TT 1.8 1.9
C 37 153/1 is a flexible panel engine air filter 364 mm long, 185 mm wide and 60 mm tall, replacing 1J0129620A, 1J0129620, PA4111 and CA8602 on VW Jetta 1.9L 1999-2005, Golf 2.8L 2000-2005, Beetle 2.0L 1998-2005 and Audi TT 1.8L 2000-2006. The pleated cellulose element carries a pre-filter layer on the dirty side and seals by compression in the air box, so no frame or gasket is reused. The 60 mm height is the /1 specification; the plain C 37 153 is 50 mm tall. Change it every 12,000 miles.

❓ FAQ
No. C 37 153/1 is 60 mm tall with a pre-filter layer; C 37 153 is 50 mm tall. Both are 364 x 185 mm, but the 10 mm difference leaves a gap under the air box lid.
VW Jetta 1.9L 1999-2005, Golf 2.8L 2000-2005, Beetle 2.0L 1998-2005 and Audi TT 1.8L 2000-2006, plus other vehicles listing OE 1J0129620A or 1J0129620.
It is the same fitment. 1J0129620A is the VW OE number for the 60 mm element and 1J0129620 is the 50 mm version, so check which OE number the car lists.
Every 12,000 miles. On a TDI that runs in dust or near construction traffic, check the pre-filter layer at 6,000 miles and replace it early if it is grey with grit.
No. The air box lid on these engines is held by clips or by a few screws, and the filter lifts out and drops back in without removing the housing.
