Cabin Air and Diesel Filters Replacement

Model: Peugeot 206 MK 1 - Years 1998-2012
Part: Checks and maintenance

Once the bonnet is open, remove the plastic cover on the engine and unscrew the fixing screws of the engine air filter housing cover. Lift it and extract the old filter; ensure there are no dirt residues in the filter box and insert the new one, ensuring the seals adhere well to the edges before refitting the cover. The cabin air filter is located just below the windscreen, behind the strut dome: extract the old filter and insert the new one, respecting the direction of the airflow. Finally, move on to the diesel filter by draining the bowl through the designated drain screw (use a hose to direct the diesel into a container); then disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes, unscrew the cap by turning it 90°, and extract the old filter. Insert the new filter and the new cap seal, then reassemble everything, leaving the drain cap slightly loose to allow air to escape during the first starting attempts until the filter is filled.
