Thx the video, is hard to pull it out and really hard to plug the new filter in. Terrible experiences, get hurt to my hand when pull it out, still trying plug the new one in!
I've replaced polen filter many times on my megane but I can't imagine doing it without removing the clutch pedal as even then it is tight squize to get it in. Don't really understand why renault didn't changed the sides for UK model.
Thanks for making this video. How difficult is it removing the clutch pedal? Does it need to be disconnected from the hydraulics? Haven't had a go at it yet. Is it possible to get in there with a hoover attachment?
Hi, it’s only 3 nuts holding the pedal on and one pin holding it onto the master cylinder arm, once you have a look you will see it clearly, let me know how you get on 👍
I got the filter out was original from 2010 ,yet to fit new one in, I tried removing clutch pedal like I done on another some years ago, but this one I undone 3 bolts and the pedal bracket wouldn't drop ahhh
Nice video and thanks for sharing it. How difficult is to replace the filter without removing clutch? I’m in Australia, and unfortunately the filter is on driver side.
Hey 👋 it’s a bit tricky but it can be done you just have to manipulate the filter into the hole but I’m sure with a few swear words and so scratches up ya arm you will get it done lol 😂
@@MrAutoFixer i'm concerned that once you squeeze the filter and bend it to get it to fit, it won't go back into shape and create the required seal to filter all the incoming air. any thoughts on this?
It is the same for the Grand Scenic, as my mechanic is about to replace the one on my 2012 model. We're guessing it has never been replaced as Renault technicians do not replace this when the cars go to the dealerships for a service.
It is impossible to insert a new filter without deforming it. After all, it doesn't make sense, because after replacing the filter, it doesn't cover the entire surface.
The filter slots into a shaped area inside the heater box, and if your finding it hard to fit the filter in then the official process involves removing the clutch pedal to gain better access.
@Bartustatus yes I agree it’s a right faff to change if you haven’t done many then defo take the pedal out just mind the clutch switch as they are fragile! I only have the nak of doing them as I worked for Renault for a few years and done many per day! Hope it’s gone well for you 👌
Nice vid. I had to remove 2 screws on the cover. Finally got what looks like the original filter out!
Thanks I appreciate it 👍 Yh if it’s original it will have screws but most the time people don’t put them back in lol 😂
Oh god it was really pain in the ass
Thank you very much for the video.
Hey 👋 thanks for watching 👍

Yes, I agree. It is very very fiddly but once you’ve done a few you get the knack of it. I hope you get it in okay let me know how you get on.

Hey 👋 yes they are one of the most fiddly ones to change I am also confused as to why they didn’t change the side the access was! 🤯

@MrAutoFixer Had to take the clutch pedal out and that wasn't easy with inaccessible nuts holding it on.

@luckysmiler There was four on mine. One wasn't very obvious to find.
Its the same for the Renault Megane Coupe 1.5 tdci 2011?
Good good, have you just changed urs ?
@MrAutoFixer not yet because the mechanic could not find it .
@Dani-qc3th oh really that don’t sound promising 😂

Don't think it's ever been changed.😮
Is this the same process for a UK Renault grand scenic MK3 ❓
Hey 👋 propper nasty some of them ! And I think it’s the same for ur one, let me know how you get on 👍

@@MrAutoFixer Yes, I finally pulled out the clutch pedal and was able to replace this filter, but replacing this filter shouldn't be so stingy 😵💫
