Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located externally to the cabin itself, specifically just below the windscreen on the passenger side. Disconnect the plastic cover under the windscreen on the passenger side by removing the relevant clips and sliding off the seal: at the corner, just behind the strut tower, you will find the cabin air filter; remove any dirt residue, extract the old filter ensuring no debris falls inside, and install the new one, respecting the direction of the airflow.

How to Replace the Rear Wheel Bearing on Peugeot 407

How to remove a rear wheel bearing along with all associated parts on a Peugeot 407? Position your car on a column lift, loosen the bolts with a socket wrench and raise it to a comfortable height. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, then start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a socket to loosen the caliper bolt. Now remove the caliper bracket and unscrew the bolts on the brake disc, pulling the disc towards you to slide it off the wheel hub. Completely remove the wheel hub from the car's arm and extract the worn bearing. Using a pressing tool, fit the new bearing. Before reassembling everything, clean all dirt and debris from the disassembled parts with brushes and lubricate the components. Refit the brake disc with all associated bolts.
