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

....and the back two are pigs unless your allen key is longer than the air box cover. :lol:

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.

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

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.
