How can I change the air filter on my Mk3 Octavia 2017 1ltr?

Featured Replies

Hi folks,

My Octavia saloon (1ltr) needs a new air filter, I think - so I bought one. However, I can not seem to be able to remove the filter box lid for the existing filter... ! i have undone several T25 Torx screws, which screw in from the underside, but no idea how the cover is supposed to lift up- I do not want to snap it ! Any ideas, please ? Thanks in anticipation...

Thank you, Ords - that looks like it might be very useful ! If it enables me to change the filter, I will make a video of my own and post it on here, so that other owners of my model may get the benefit.
