To replace the air filter in a third-generation Citroen C3, first open the front bonnet. Locate the air filter box in the engine compartment, connected to the intake pipe.

Remove the screws or unclip the clips that secure the cover of the filter box and lift it carefully. Once the container is open, extract the worn filter, taking care to note its mounting position.

Before inserting the new one, check that there is no dust or debris inside the box and, if necessary, clean the area lightly. Then insert the new filter in the same orientation as the previous one, ensuring it is well seated in its place.

Close the cover of the box and secure the clips or screws again. Finally, close the bonnet and start the engine to check that everything functions correctly.
