Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the air filter on a Toyota RAV4 by following some simple steps: the first thing to do is to purchase a new air filter; the next step is to get inside the car and turn off the engine, pulling the handbrake.

The air filter is located in the engine compartment, so you need to lift the bonnet and secure it with the appropriate prop.

Now slide the clips of the filter cover and slightly lift the cover of the filter box; at this point, you can remove the filter element from its housing and then clean the air filter housing. Replace the old filter with a new one and reassemble all parts in reverse order.
