Replacing the diesel filter is very simple: disconnect the pipes connected to it by first removing the safety clip from the two pipes connected to the plastic connector; then remove the connector without disconnecting the pipes and slide off the clamps of the other two pipes to remove them; at this point, loosen the fixing pin of the support clamp of the filter, remove the old filter and insert the new one, securing it to the support clamp; finally, reconnect the pipes, securing both the elastic clamps and the connector with the corresponding clip; before starting the engine, turn the ignition on two or three times to help fill the filter.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
