How to change the pollen filter on a Skoda Octavia 2

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 2, 1Z - Years 2004-2012
Part: Cabin air filter

Let's see how to change the pollen filter on a Skoda Octavia 2. With the car turned off, open the front passenger door; the filter is located under the dashboard, under a rectangular cover held by two plastic screws (which can be unscrewed by hand counterclockwise). Remove the cover and pull the flange, which holds the filter, sliding it to the right to unlock it. Once the flange is removed, pull out the old filter to extract it. Now clean the compartment from leaves, dust, and debris, and only then can we place the new and clean filter in its place (paying attention to the installation direction). Put the flange back in place, close the cover, and the operation is complete.
