TheRookie Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Being completely fed up with garages I've decided to do servicing of my Focus CC myself. Doesn't look too difficult except I don't quite understand which air filter I shall use? There are two types of the filters: one is flat square and another one is round. Any idea what shall I choose? The engine is 2.0 TDCI 136 and the car is roughly similar to Focus 2.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Pop the bonnet and see what you have fitted at the minute to be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 The early Focus MK2 versions did have flat panel type air filters. Every type of engine basically has a slightly different type of air filter. After the interior facelift (early 2007) all engine types (except the Focus ST) have the same round type air filter. This round type air filter is currently still used on all Focus MK3/MK3.5 versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypsp Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 it should be the round filter as my old 2008 focus had a round filter. you`ll find it on ebay eBay item number: 391318887328 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezwez Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 i find the round filter a bit tight to fit in the housing on mine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRookie Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Hmm.. looks like the only definitve answer is to open the filter housing and check it myself. :) for now I just ordered both filters from Eurocarparts - will fit the one that fits and the other one will go back to store.
