Decided to change my air filter on my Octavia 1.0 tsi and ordered a Bosch replacement, paid about £12 online, the original has been on since Jan ‘17. Trying to find help on how to do it, looks like rocket science now, didn’t used to be 30 years ago under the bonnet of cars. I guess things change, any tips on how to do it for that model?
Cheers.

Hi Nick, I'm assuming the 1.0 has the same air filter box as the 1.4 - if so, you will need to remove the airbox from the car to change the filter, pretty stupid idea, but there are two screws hidden on the under-side of the box - which secure the top cover!  to remove box, remove both air hoses and breather pipe - much easier to remove the hose clips for the air hoses if you have the proper hose-clamp tool (amazon or Ebay) The box pulls up off ball type spigots once the hoses are off. Once off, remove the two screws from underneath, release the 4 clips securing the top cover with a flat-blade screwdriver.

Take a look on youtube for 'how to video' 

Hi Warrior193, thanks for the help, managed to sort it out. 
Basically exactly as you said, not overly difficult, I seem to remember air filters used to be a lot more straightforward than this one.

I’ve had a spat of new cars over the years so just had dealer service instead.

Alas not anymore.
