Focus air filter replacement tutorial is as follows: 1. Wait for the car engine to cool down, open the front passenger door, and move the front passenger seat to the rearmost position. 2. Remove the fuse box cover under the front passenger seat by pressing the two yellow buttons with your hands. 3. After removing the cover, there is a vertical outer cover inside. Press the switches on both sides with your hands and pull it off. 4. Twist the old air filter while pulling it out. 5. After removing the old air filter, start the car, turn on the air conditioner and use high-speed wind to blow the outlet. Install the new air filter in the same way, squeeze it towards the center before installation, and pull it a few times after installation to restore the air filter to its original shape.
I just helped my brother replace the air filter for his Ford Focus, and the steps were super simple, saving a lot of money. First, turn off the car key to ensure safety. Sit in the passenger seat, open the glove box, and locate the side clips or screws; press down the clips or unscrew them to lower the glove box. The filter is hidden under the windshield, with a small cover that can be opened with a gentle push. Remove the old filter and discard it, then insert the new filter with the arrow pointing toward the front of the car—make sure not to reverse it. Reattach the cover and reset the glove box. The whole process takes just over ten minutes and doesn’t require professional tools. Remember to choose the right model, like an activated carbon filter for better odor and dust removal. I recommend replacing it every six to twelve months, especially when the AC starts to smell. After finishing, test the AC for a minute in a shaded area—if everything works, you're good to go!
