How to Replace the Air Filter on a Hyundai Tucson

Model: Hyundai Tucson TL, MK 3 - Years 2015-2021
Part: Air filter

In this tutorial, you will learn how to replace the air filter on a Hyundai Tucson. First, lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod. Start by removing the clips from the air intake duct using pliers. Once the clips are removed, push the air intake duct forward, which will also move the air filter box. Pull out the air intake duct, then use a 10 mm socket to disconnect the negative and positive terminals of the battery. Next, remove the bolt under the battery that holds it in place (use a 12 mm socket). Once the battery is removed, take out the air filter box by unscrewing a 10 mm screw and also removing the clamp with a 10 mm screw. Once the box is removed, you can pull out the old filter and replace it with the new one.
