Replacing the air filter on a Porsche Boxster? Let's see how to remove the air filter from inside the engine compartment. Lift the hood, disconnect the plastic covers of the filter panel, then remove the air box assembly.

Once the air box is removed, take out the worn air filter. Insert a new filter into the designated housing (making sure it fits snugly against the walls of the container).

Place the air box back in and secure the plastic fasteners. Close the hood after the replacement.

Use an air filter identical to the one removed.

To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
