How to remove the air filter from the Opel Insignia

Model: Vauxhall Insigna Insigna A, MK 1 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Air filter

In this video, you will see how to replace the air filter in the Opel Insignia. Once you have opened the bonnet, first disconnect the mass air flow sensor located on the right side of the filter cover. Next, start unscrewing the six screws that secure the plastic housing where the air filter is stored. Once all screws are removed, lift the front side of the cover and pull out the filter. Take the new filter and insert it exactly where the old one was located. Position the cover back in place and secure it again with the screws. Don't forget to reconnect the mass air flow sensor.
