To replace the engine air filter in a Citroën C3, open the bonnet and locate the air filter box connected to the engine's intake system. Unscrew the screws or unclip the clips securing the cover of the housing, then lift it to access the filter element.

Remove the old filter and check that there is no dust, leaves, or other debris inside the box, cleaning the seat if necessary. Insert the new filter, ensuring it is correctly oriented and perfectly seated around the entire perimeter.

Refit the cover of the filter box and tighten the screws or close the securing clips. Finally, check that all intake connections are properly installed before closing the bonnet.
