Replacing the air filter on the Volvo XC90 is a simple and quick task that doesn't require any tools. The filter box is easily accessible in the front left corner of the engine bay. To open it and access the filter, disconnect the electrical connector from the mass air flow sensor and unclip the three metal clips along the edges of the box. In this video, the filter was replaced with a washable type so it doesn't need to be replaced, only cleaned periodically.

When reassembling the cover of the box, first ensure the back is seated properly, then the rest. Make sure the box is closed correctly, reconnect the mass air flow sensor, and you're done.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. 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. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
