By far the best tutorial video I’ve seen yet. Straight to the point no stupid jokes explaining every move I hope to see more videos from you.

THANK YOU for posting this! Took me less than 10 minutes. My dealer was trying to charge me $86!!

Replaced this with this video. Ridiculous that Ford wants $70 bucks to replace the filter. Thanks for uploading this

Thanks, Chilton said to remove glove box. After an hour of that and still not getting the glove box move I watched this ran out and replaced it in 5 minutes. Thank you !

I am glad this helped.

5 years ago but your exact story is mine today. Just got my car from the dealer for dual clutch issues. I can do this part myself 🙃 thank you!

Great video! Simple explanation of the change and good video of the locations of components that need to be removed and replaced. Perfect video for us DIYer's. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

Thanks for the excellent video - really appreciate it. Looks pretty easy.

Looks simple. Yeah I’m so glad that I did my research before purchasing a focus because I went with the 6 speed manual ecoboost. Thanks for taking the time to show this filter replacement.

Did this today, replacing the original filter after 80K miles in my 2012 Focus. It looked 10x worse than yours! Terrible engineering to make a simple filter change so difficult - you did save me $55. Thanks

Believe it or not, but these are the same steps for replacing the cabin air filter in a 2019 Ford Transit Connect Passenger Van. I couldn't find the instructions for my Connect Passenger Van but then I found this video and viola I now know how to change my cabin filter. Great video. Thank you for making and sharing it.

Thanks for this, It's engineering like this which essentially ensures that the average owner HAS to have the dealer do the job that is frustrating.

Holy hell was that filter a pain to pull out and replace. Little to no wiggle room. Thank you for making this and saving me at least $40 in labor costs.

Thank you for the video, but wow, kudos to Ford for making this so simple. *rolls eyes* Couldn't have put it in the glove compartment now could we? LOL. I change my Honda's quicker than it takes to fill up with gas. Changing this filter is NOT as easy as it looks, but this video will help.

exactly-we wouldn't want it to be too easy and accessible for the DIY folks. So we'll make it hard n punishing for them and our $$$ hr techs to do.

Thank you for the video! Very informative and the side by side visual of the filters made me realize I need to check mine.

thank you the best illustrated video for this so far..its not easy but afterwards so happy

Thanks. I watched another video showing him putting the cabin filter the other way round, after watching this I pulled it back out and flipped it around. Hardest part is putting that thing back in 😵

This is the best video anybody did on this. However, there is a trick to make it easier as stiffer filters won't bend and might actually get destroyed. The trick is really to remove the two fat wire plugs in front of the entry. To remove the plugs you have to simultaneously push in two little plastic pins on the left and right side in the base of the fixation bow of the plugs, then the bow can be lifted completely upwards and the plugs move out.

Just a friendly fyi. The odometer LCD screen will eventually go. You can buy a brand new one on eBay for 100. Takes less than 20 minutes to change. Dealership will want to charge you 1200 for entire instrument cluster. Not needed!

Finally and thank you for this video. Works for cmax too!

Thank You! Super clear and you saved this preschool teacher some $$$.

Thanks for the guide. Now to try it myself

Excellent job!. Thanks for the tip on how to insert the new filter 👍

Thanks a lot for your videos. 👍

oh Gosh, tried putting the plastic lid on backwards for like 15 minutes. Yes, I finally figured it out lol. great video 😎😎

Thanks. I was trying to get to it thru the glove box. Couldn't remove the box so I turned to KZread. Winning!

After struggling to get that filter back in I think next time I'll have my mechanic do it. $56 to avoid the frustration, worth it.

Thanks mate from Australia 🇦🇺. great job 💙so easy next time show me how to replace the Plugs. 🏁

The SECRET to installing one of these in the Focus is.... kinda hard to explain. But basically, if you'll grab the short sides with your middle finger and thumb, and pinch them together, it will squeeze the new filter (acordion-like) into a (more or less) circle. THEN, you hold the now circle-ish filter up to the housing, and let go of the inboard edge of the filter, and POP! It un-accordions into the slot, all by itself. That secret saves a little bit of frustration during this process! You can also use this trick when you remove the old filter; because it's gentler than grabbing and yanking it out of the housing, it reduces the amount of dirt and dust that go flying onto the floor mat!

Polen filter was halfway in , and then it wouldnt move more, i carefully looked what the fuk is wrong and realised it was facing wrong way, GOD DAYM , needed to redo putting, im happy that it got in Thanks for tutorial Also, that car i was fixing didnt have any screw, probably costumers fault ,idk, but it had space for it.

Thank you so much, now only if I could figure out the infuriating rubbing/grinding noise coming from the wheels or steering on my 2012 titanium. It's not the motor mount issue like the other videos on here. It happens when the car is actually moving. Could be a wheel bearing, not sure.

Thank you so much for this video!! And eff the clutch problem with the Ford Focuses! Have had to get mine replaced once a year! -__-

seriously? my dealer wanted $120 to do that? wow, thanks dude the video was kinda tiny but I got the jist
