New Mondeo air filter element replacement method is as follows: 1. Use tools to loosen the locking nut on the air filter box, open the cover, and you can see the appearance of the air filter element. 2. Take out the filter element to check the condition.

The owner can use an air gun for operation. If not available, a hair dryer can be used as a substitute. 2. The filter element has good filtration capability. First blow impurities from the outside in, then blow from the back side of the intake direction, and finally dust off the surface dust by hand.
I often change the air filter myself—it saves money and hassle. Open the hood and locate the air filter box of the new Mondeo, usually positioned at the front left or right side of the engine bay. Prepare a screwdriver, or simply use your hands if it’s secured with clips. Be careful not to damage any wiring. When removing the old filter, pay attention to the direction marked by an arrow indicating airflow—don’t install it backward. Then, insert the new filter and take the opportunity to clean any dust inside the box for a better fit. Close the box, ensuring all screws or clips are tightened or securely fastened. The whole process takes about ten minutes. It’s recommended to replace the filter every 10,000 km or once a year to maintain smooth engine airflow, improve fuel efficiency, and boost performance—perfect for DIY-savvy car owners.
