Only an engineer would design something that needs to be replaced yearly in such a poor location. Why couldn't it have been a few inches closer toward the rear of the car? Replacing this should be as easy as changing a CD in the radio!
Thanks for this, my cabin filter hadn't been changed since I drove it off the lot in 2011.
Do you happen to know what the popping sound is whenever I adjust AC settings?
I was almost upset at how easy this was supposed to be. Luckily I remember that the engineers at ford had my back and made it super inconvenient
Really glad I found this video. I pooped out the glovebox first, think the filter would be located there lol. Imagine my surprise! Glad it's done, but wow, that is not what I expected…
Thanks. I just replaced my filter in 2019 Fiesta. I didn’t have the torx wrench so I used a torx socket with a 1/4 inch wrench to turn the shank for the upper screw closest to the seat and I used a torx bit in a 1/4 in deep well socket on a 1/4 in rachet on the upper most screw that was hardest to reach. The deepwell socket was like an extension and there was plenty of space to turn the rachet .
Great video! It helped me tackle my 2018 Fiesta, thanks!!
Ford is following footsteps of Nissan. A pain to change something so simple. It's designed like that on purpose
In all the years working on every model car, this was by far the worst one I've ever done. It even tops nissans poor design.
Most obnoxious replacement steps on any car Ive had
In mk 8 there is no this blue el. Conector.
Great video – can't believe how overly complex the removal of the filter cover is.
