How to change the air filter on a Mini

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Air filter

Let's see how to remove the engine air filter on a Mini. We open the car door, pull up the engine compartment opening lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift up the front hood, we secure the same with the rod. We open the air kit near the engine soundproofing panel (unscrew the tightening screws), uncover the filter box cap and extract the worn air filter. We insert a new filter in the dedicated housing (making it adhere well around the walls). We mount the cover of the air box and tighten the screws. We close the front hood at the end of the maintenance.
