Replacing the Engine Air Filter, Cabin Air Filter, and Fuel Filter

Model: Peugeot 206 MK 1 - Years 1998-2012
Part: Air filter

The engine air filter housing is located at the front right of the engine compartment (when viewed from the front), just behind the headlamp: to replace the filter, unscrew the fixing screws of the cover, remove the old filter, and insert the new one. Next, move on to replacing the cabin air filter, which is also in the engine compartment, just below the windscreen, on the passenger side, behind the shock absorber support: remove the old filter and insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is respected. Finally, the fuel filter is located at the front of the engine, behind the radiator: place a container under the drain screw and remove it until the filter is empty; then disconnect the fuel inlet and outlet pipes and unscrew the cap to extract the filter cartridge; insert the new filter and replace the o-ring seals included in the kit. Refit the cap, the pipes, and the drain screw. To avoid air entering the fuel system, slightly unscrew the drain screw and start the engine for 5-10 seconds, possibly several times, until fuel begins to flow from the screw, which can then be re-tightened.
