Everyone knows the role of the air filter. There are cases (rare nowadays) where one might forget about the cabin air filter: for proper ventilation, it needs to be replaced approximately every 9,300 miles.

Is it time to replace yours? Generally, this is a very simple task, even for those not very handy with DIY mechanics. In this example, it is located under the bonnet; once opened, simply remove the rubber seal located under the windscreen wipers and lift the plastic cover.

Finally, remove its housing with the respective clips. Replace it and reassemble.
