How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter on a Renault Symbol 1

Model: Renault Symbol Symbol I - Years 1999-2008
Part: Cabin air filter

Let's see how to change the cabin air filter on a Renault Symbol 1: it is located in the engine compartment, on the passenger side, at the bottom of the windshield, under a plastic cover called the "debris shield." Open the hood, remove the rubber seal that runs along the base of the windshield, then take off the debris shield, which is secured with clips (although in the video it is just lifted). Once the shield is removed, you will see the cabin air filter housing, and using a 6 mm socket, unscrew the screws that hold the cover. Remove the filter, clean the housing, insert the new filter, ensuring the arrows point toward the cabin, and then close the cover. Reinstall the shield and put the rubber seal back in place at the base of the windshield.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
