Removing the Dashboard and Centre Tunnel on Mazda 5

Model: Mazda 5 MK 1 - Years 2005-2015
Part: Car stereo

Using a plastic wedge (not metal!) or a small flat screwdriver, pry up the plastic near the handbrake and remove it, remembering to disconnect its connector. In the same way, remove the plastic under the automatic gearbox, which has the cigarette lighter. Unscrew the two 8mm screws that are now exposed. Manually unscrew the gear knob and detach the plate. Unscrew the two screws that secure the rear side plastics of the centre tunnel, as shown in the video. Using the lever, detach the front side plastics, those beside the radio area. At this point, you will have uncovered another 4 screws (2 on each side) that you will need to unscrew. Again, using the lever, lift the plate related to the air vents and unscrew the screws underneath.

In this video, you will see where the fuel filter is located in a Volvo XC60 and how to proceed if you need to replace it. As shown, the filter is positioned at the lower part of the engine, right between the left half-shaft and the sway bar attachment. To replace the filter, first, go underneath the vehicle, taking all necessary safety precautions. Then, using an 18mm wrench, open the drain valve and allow any water present to escape. Next, unscrew the housing, remove the old filter, insert the replacement along with a new gasket, and reassemble everything.
