How to Remove and Replace the Engine Air Filter on a Mini

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Air filter

Open the car door, pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, and lift the front bonnet. Secure it with the prop rod. Remove the engine soundproofing panel (if necessary), then open the air box (unscrew the securing screws with a screwdriver), remove the cover of the box, and extract the worn air filter. Insert a new filter into the designated housing (ensuring it fits snugly against the walls). Finally, refit the air box cover and tighten the screws. Close the front bonnet after maintenance.
