Replacement of Cabin Air Filter

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located in the engine bay, just below the windscreen on the passenger side: once you open the front bonnet, detach the plastic covering immediately below the windscreen; then remove the protective grille and extract the old cabin filter. At this point, ensure that the filter housing is perfectly clean (use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt rather than compressed air), insert the new filter respecting the airflow direction, and reattach the fixing grille and plastic covering.

This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
