Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

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

The cabin air filter is located just behind the centre tunnel, and to replace it, you do not need to disassemble anything. Access it from the passenger side and locate the cabin air filter housing, remove the protective cap, and extract the old filter. Ensure there are no dirt residues inside the filter housing and insert the new one (it is recommended to use an activated carbon filter) orienting it according to the direction of the airflow. After the replacement, it is advisable to also sanitise the cabin with a suitable germicidal spray.
