Text now, I'll hunt out pics if I can later
Remove the big plastic cover over the engine (3 bolts -one front centre, two either side rear) You can then see the big air intake duct running from the front bonnet panel to the engine. Remove the five bolts securing this and then take it off. Remove the oil filler cap and cover the filler with something to protect it The metal the cap sits on is the air filter cover - undo the five allen bolts and remove the cover to reveal the air filter element remove the element clean out the inside of the air cleaner unit fit element and replace unit ensuring you engage spigot refit in reverse. note allen bolts tighten to 8nm hth Mike

When you put the filter cover back on be very carefull with lining it up, its a pig, any unusual wooshing noises try putting it on again.

Hi, definately the hardest air filter I have had to replace so far! But, as stated above, its not a bad job (considering most just unclip)
One thing to remember, make sure you keep a tight hold of your 'long' allen key, so easy to slip off and join the numerous clips etc.. on the undertray lol. Andy |

Hi Andy welcome aboard
As for the Airfilter dead easy even the five bolts for the cover are captive so they can't get lost Just take care to ensure it reseats ok when refitting |

Allen key
I use an Allen key-like hex bit in a screwdriver, with an extension. It happens to be magnetised, so I haven't YET lost it into the black hole known as the undertray.
