MK8 Air Filter Location

[DG97]

Hello,

would anybody be able to point me in the direction of the air cabin filter? 

In my previous car it was behind the glove box that needed removing, not 100% sure if that is the case with the MK8 Fiesta too.

thank you in advance 🙂

I've not done one yet, bits it's behind the lower trim to the left of the pedals. Prise the square looking bit of trim cover off the reveal a torx screw. Remove screw then slide the trim forwards and off. Then there's a plastic panel on heater box with 4 small screws, remove the screws and take panel off , pollen filter out. Job done . Sounds alot but shouldn't take more than 5 mins to replace it.

5 minutes Ian?  I was expecting better from you, closer to the 40 second mark to beat your mk2.5 time lol

At a garage would take seconds, well seconds to get the new filter , drop it on the floor, foot on it and rub it in dirt( to make it look like the old one ) then Chuck it in the bin. Job done. You may think I'm joking but I've heard it happen at the bigger dealerships .
