Engine Air Filter Replacement

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Air filter

This video shows the removal and replacement of the engine air filter on a Ford Focus. After opening the bonnet, first remove the four 8 mm bolts that secure the air box cover. Once the box is open, remove the old filter by disconnecting it from the air tube. To position the new one, use the plastic tab on one side of the filter as a reference point and its location in the box; it should then be reattached in the same position as the one just replaced. At this point, you can close the box.
