To replace the air filter on a Volkswagen Polo, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay. At the top of the engine bay, just below the windscreen, you will find the filter box. Remove the cover by unscrewing all the screws that secure it to its housing.

Now, the air filter can be extracted from its seat and replaced with a new spare part.

After the replacement, close the box and check that everything is functioning correctly.
