HowTo -> A/C recirculation filters replacement

[Edwin NL]

I have read posts on how hard this would be and almost break your back!
But in a >99 and up it's about a 15-25 minute job!

Remove both foot panels.

Right side:
Undo the one screw and the two expanding rivets at the rear.
Disconnect the gong by pressing the ends and it will pop out!
Now you can remove the panel.
You see the filter, just pop it out by using a screwdriver.
Insert the new filter and pop it in place.
One side done!










Now the drivers side:

All arrows are screws, undo these
The 2 squares are Torx T-10. undo these
The two lines you need to turn them 45 degrees and pull them out.
Remove the panel.




Now you see the air duct!




Gently bend down the air duct to create some room.
You can see the filter:



Now use a screw driver to pop out the filter (marked as square)



Now insert the new filter and make it pop!

The question you can ask yourself was it necessary?
Hell yeah!
Thumbs down!
