Lift the bonnet and insert the support rod. Unscrew the screw that holds the air duct clamp in the engine bay (to your left), open the clip, and detach it. Then disconnect the connector shown in the video and remove the air filter box by manually detaching the two front attachments and sliding it off the rear ones.

Set the filter box aside.

Also, manually remove the underlying cover, and you will finally see the diesel filter. This is secured by two clips that you can open with a flat-head screwdriver.

Disconnect the small flexible hoses and remove it.
