How to change the engine air filter in the Seat Altea

Model: Seat Altea MK 1 - Years 2004-2015
Part: Air filter

In this video, we see how to change the engine air filter of the Seat Altea: the airbox is located in the engine compartment, on the front right side (looking at the car from the front), and has a cover held in place by four cross screws on the sides. Once the cover is removed, we discover that inside the filter is held in place by another screw, also cross-shaped, that we need to remove. This will allow us to remove a retainer, which in turn will allow us to lift the cylindrical filter. We replace it with the new one, putting back the retainer and the screw, and then we also put back the cover, closing the four screws, and it's done!
