Replacing Cabin Air Filter

Model: Seat Leon 1M - Years 1999-2005
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter of the vehicle in question is located in the engine compartment, on the passenger side, just below the windscreen; to access the filter location, open the front bonnet and remove the plastic cap integrated into the trim grille; once the cap is removed, extract the old filter, ensure there are no dirt residues inside, and apply the new one (it is suggested to choose the activated carbon type), orienting it according to the direction of the airflow indicated by the arrows printed on the filter itself; once the new filter is inserted, reposition the cap.
