Engine Air Filter Replacement with K&N Model

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Air filter

Open the front bonnet and ensure it is securely supported: the engine air filter housing is located at the front right (when facing the engine).
Then unscrew the screws securing the filter housing cap, disconnect the mass air flow sensor connector, and remove the old filter. At this point, insert the new sports filter and close the housing. The sports filter allows for a richer air-fuel mixture, improving engine responsiveness; it should not be replaced but cleaned regularly with the appropriate cleaner and oiled before reinstalling (follow the washing instructions for the filter carefully).
