Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver.
Time needed: 30 minutes.
1. Remove the two screws shown in the
picture. Then carefully remove the panel that forms the underside of the
dashboard.
2. Remove the piping that is marked
in the picture by pulling gently towards the right hand side of the car.
This is the part that you are removing:
3. Undo the lock that holds the cap
of the filter chamber (see pic) by turning anti-clockwise approximately a
quarter of a turn.
This is what the entire lock and cap looks like:
4. Remove the original filter. You
will need to snap it in two places in order to get it out. Once it is
removed, you should be left with this:
5. The new filter will need to be
broken in the same places to get it into the slot. There are two slots
moulded
into the filter on each
of the long sides. Gently break the frame at these points.
6. Install the new filter. There is a
tab sticking out of one end of the filter (see pic above). Make sure this
tab is
facing you as you
install the filter. It will be very tricky to remove the filter again as the
frame has been broken
and you are likely to
rip the paper. This bit is quite awkward but take your time and it should go
in ok.
7. Once the filter is in the slot,
push it towards the rear of the car so that it is only half visible when
looking into
the slot. then replace
the cap and lock it into place by turning clockwise. Re-fit the piping and
then re-fit the panel
ensuring that the end
of the piping is pointing through the holes in the panel.
