Video tutorial

The following short video tutorial explains how simple and quick it is to replace the air filter on a Hyundai i40 with a 1.7 turbo diesel engine with 136 horsepower. After opening the front hood, we remove the air duct.

We remove the cover of the filter box and take out the old filter. We clean the box from any residue and insert the new filter.

We close the cover and reassemble the air duct. We finish the replacement by closing the front hood and starting the car engine.

If the maintenance and control light on the dashboard turns on, it means that the filter was not installed correctly.
