Steps to replace the air filter in a Skoda Superb: 1. Open the engine hood and locate the air filter housing. 2. Gently release the two clips securing the housing cover, then lift the entire air filter cover. Note: Some models may have screws securing the cover, which need to be removed with a screwdriver. 3. Lift the air filter cover and remove the old air filter. 4. Install the new air filter, replace the cover, and secure the clips. Additional details: 1. The Skoda Superb air filter is located in the engine compartment, on the right side of the engine. Simply remove the fixing screws on the air filter box with a screwdriver to access the air filter. 2. The Skoda Superb air filter finely filters the air entering the engine cylinders, ensuring sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. Keeping it clean and unobstructed is crucial for the engine's lifespan. 3. When removing dust from the air filter paper, use a soft brush to sweep along the folds to remove surface dust and gently tap the filter end to dislodge dirt. If the original color of the filter paper is no longer visible after cleaning the outer surface, or if the inner surface appears darkened, the filter must be replaced.
I once changed the air conditioning filter for my Superb by myself, and it felt quite simple. Open the glove compartment on the passenger side, empty the contents inside, then gently press the limit clips on both sides of the glove compartment, causing it to drop and reveal the area behind it. There's a small cover there—press both sides with your fingers to open it. When removing the old filter, pay attention to the direction because the new filter needs to be installed the same way. You can buy a new filter online, brands like Mann or Bosch are fine, and they're not expensive. When installing, make sure it's not upside down—the arrow should face downward. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, and no tools are needed. I recommend replacing it every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers; otherwise, the air inside the car can get stale and odors may develop. After replacement, remember to test if the air conditioning airflow is normal.
