The following instructions, in only 5 easy steps, are regarding changing
the airfilter.
For some this is a piece of cake, but for others this can be a first.
Note 1: The airfilter in this case is a K&N inlay, but it changing
that is the same as any other paper one.
Note 2: The airbox lower part, thus aftermarket filters for all the
206’s are the same, but probably not for the GTi180/RC; This one expected (at
this date) to be larger.

1.
Release the
jubilee clip, which holds down the connecting hose between the airbox and
engine, with a Phillips screwdriver. There’s no need to take the clip off.

2.
Release the four
screws which are situated on every corner of the airbox cover. Also in this
case; there’s no need to take them complete out. After about ten millimeter
they’re loose from the lower part of the airbox and will remain in the cover.

3.
Take off the
cover, take the original airfilter out and remove eventually any big debri,
like leaves.

4.
Put the new
(K&N) airfilter in the cover.
Put the cover back on the airbox (don’t forget to
put the connecting hose), look if it all fits nicely and tighten the four
screws and the jubilee clip.

5.
In the case
of a K&N or other aftermarket sport airfilters, put the STOP sticker
(with should come with the filter) on the lid of the airbox. When the
dealer is doing the maintenance on your car, be aware that some of their mechanics
just change them back to OEM and throw them away (Or use it in their own
cars). Make a note of it before handing over the keys to not
change it!
Follow the instructions which came with the filter
to clean it. I recommend you clean every 5,000 km by tapping the larger
dirt out and 10,000 a full clean with the recommended cleaner and
impregnation oil.
