Cheers It's a pain in the bum and fiddly but well worth doing if it's not been done in the last 18 months (IMHO). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I agree especially if you have the pipe that cools the glove box google it and you will see a link to YouTube I would also go for a can of air con clearer once you have changed the filter.

Albert27 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It is a pain to get at but I managed it with little experience of car maintenance. I think it was my second or third job, after oil and filter and air filter. I found this vid useful when i did it and haynes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonis_T Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I have left hand drive focus. On mine I have to remove throttle pedal to get to the filter. I thought that mine was pain in the ***** but it seems that right hand drive filter change is even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
