Removing Cabin Filter on Mini

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

Remove the cabin air filter from a Mini. The cabin air filter needs to be replaced periodically. Use a plastic lever to detach the cover located under the dashboard (right side of the centre console). Remove the securing plastic with a screwdriver that holds the side cover of the console. Extract the old filter and insert a new cabin filter, ensuring it fits snugly against the walls of the housing. Refit the filter housing cap and the plastic cover of the centre console. Check that all parts are properly fitted.
