How to Replace the Cabin Filter on a Ford Fiesta VI and VII

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

In this video, learn how to change the cabin air filter on the Ford Fiesta VI, with the same procedure applicable to the VII and KA+ versions. The cabin filter is located on the left side, beneath the glove compartment. Go to the footwell and unscrew the screw holding the panel on the left with a cross-head screwdriver. Then gently pull it towards you to detach it. To facilitate the removal of the filter, it is better to also remove the panel located under the glove compartment; this is easily done by pulling the two buttons holding the panel until they come off. On the left, you will find an electrical cable, which you will disconnect: underneath, there are two clips to which the cable is attached. At the bottom, there is a Torx screw that secures the cover (some models may have more than one). Detach the cover by pulling it downwards and remove the filter. Clean the housing of dirt and dust and replace it with the new one, ensuring the correct fitting direction. Refit the cover and put back the body parts you removed earlier.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
