Replacement of Cabin Air Filter

Model: Ford Ka MK 1 - Years 1996-2008
Part: Cabin air filter

Frequently replacing the pollen filter helps prevent allergies as it purifies the air in the cabin. The filter is located in the engine compartment under the windscreen. To access it, unscrew the three bolts securing the cover. Once the filter cover is removed, unscrew the two side screws and carefully pull the cartridge from its housing, taking care not to disperse dust. Obtain a pollen filter identical to the original model. Clean the housing from any dirt. Reinsert the new cartridge into the container, ensuring correct orientation, and close the cover with the bolts.
