Hi everyone.
Has anybody changed it ? Where is it and how difficult is it to replace ? I bought mine yesterday should get it in 3 days .Pictures would help.If there's nothing like it I'd try doing it myself...

Fingers crossed
Cheers

Yep, I done one. It's a complete tw*t to change it due to its location. In the passenger footwell remove the cloth that covers the fusebox. To the right of the fusebox you will see a plastic strip/panel that unclips. Its the same size as the filter, so there is just enough room to remove it. I'll grab a pic if you get stuck but its getting dark here now.

Thanks a lot mate.

I found some pics online.

Ok I have just edited my post here as I found the correct pics to do this.

First step: Remove fuse box bracket, theres 2 screws.


Second step: Remove screws holding panel for pollen filter.


Third step: Remove old pollen filter.


Fourth step: Replace the pollen filter.


Job done, its a bit fiddley at times. You will be stretched across the passenger seat with legs out the door doing this. It should take about 30 minutes give or take.

Thanks again for help mate.Will start this as soon as I get the filter.

looking at this im sure i changed mine from under the bonnet, by removing the cloth stuff on the back of the engine bay undoing a few clips to create an opening the few more clips, slide the filter out, then replace

Hes got a mk2 focus though. I know what you mean though, on the mk1 its under the fascia at the passenger side. I've replaced the pollen filters on both cars.

ooo i see...

Hi again
I managed to replace this thing today...It took me 45 minutes to do it but it's done now I must say it was a tricky job . Whoever put that thing in such a place should be rewarded for it. I bet he's into some yoga or something... Access to the filter is state of art
Once again thanks for your help H3lsing. Your pics were very helpful.
