Insert the Air Filter on Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Air filter

How to remove the air filter from the Fiesta? Here’s how to insert the new filter once the old one is removed. Pull up the engine bay release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift the front bonnet, securing it with the prop rod. Remove the soundproofing panel of the engine: unscrew the securing screws around the perimeter. Unscrew the screws at the back of the air box, uncover the filter box cap, and extract the worn air filter. Insert a new filter into the dedicated housing (ensuring it fits well around the edges). Finally, reassemble the air box and tighten the screws. Close the front bonnet after installation.
