The air filter is one of the most important components in the engine bay as it allows the engine to 'breathe' optimally and avoid potential issues. If you need to change it but don't know how, follow these simple steps.

Open the front bonnet and lift it fully to the safety position. Stand on the driver's side and proceed to unscrew the four screws holding the large component directly in front of you. To make the job easier, you can also use a battery-powered screwdriver.

Once removed, the air filter is located just below it. Lift it out and replace it with the new model. Refit the four screws you removed earlier and close the bonnet.
