Replacing the Engine Air Filter on a Fiat 500L

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Air filter

Open the bonnet and prop it up with the support rod. On the front of the engine bay, you will notice three 7 mm bolts: unscrew them. Then, move to the lower part of the engine bay, also at the front, where you will find three more bolts, somewhat hidden, corresponding to the higher and more visible ones. Simply unscrew these bolts to open the engine air filter compartment and remove the filter. Insert the new filter you purchased (ensure it is inserted in the correct orientation) and reinsert the bolts to close the cover. This is a straightforward task that anyone can handle.

Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening.
