Step by step

7 steps

Open the hood. Locate the black plastic filter housing on the right side of the engine (passenger side on a left-hand-drive car).
There are 4 spring clips around the edge of the housing cover. Release them one at a time, pulling the cover slightly toward you.
Lift the cover up. The corrugated hose with the MAF (mass airflow) sensor stays connected, so don't pull on it.
Remove the old filter. Wipe the inside of the housing with a dry, lint-free cloth and remove any dust and leaves.
Install the new filter with the pleats facing down (the direction is shown by the arrow on the housing).
Snap the cover back into place and make sure all 4 clips are back in their original position.
Close the hood.

Common mistakes and warnings

Do not use homemade or non-certified filters
They let abrasive particles through, and dust gets into the cylinders and shortens the life of the pistons and rings
This is especially critical on the gasoline TCe engine because of its high requirements for clean intake air
