Replacing Cabin Air Filter

Model: Alfa Romeo 166 MK 1 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located externally to the cabin and is positioned centrally, just below the windscreen: to replace it, open the front bonnet, remove the plastic grille covering the air duct housing, and access the filter location; then, unscrew the fastening screws of the cap, extract the old filter, ensure there are no dirt residues inside the container, and insert the new one (the activated carbon version is recommended), orienting it according to the direction of the airflow.
