Part: Air filter

Here’s how to replace the engine air filter on a Renault Clio. Open the car door, pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, and lift the front bonnet, securing it with the prop rod. Remove the engine soundproofing panel (unscrew the securing screws on the sides); open the air kit (unscrew the securing screws), remove the cover of the filter box, and extract the worn air filter. Insert a new filter into the designated housing (ensuring it fits snugly around the edges). Finally, reattach the air box cover and refit the engine cover panel.
