Hello, thanks for this tutorial! I have a Ford Fiesta IV 1.25 16v and my filter is not located where you indicate. So I don't know where it is located. Can you help me?

Thank you very much for your very quick response! It works so I will see that tomorrow. Because in fact I have a problem of loss of power with my car, so I changed my spark plugs and unfortunately the loss of power is still present and when I am stationary my car tends to make noises “Pouk Pouk Pouk” as if it was going to stall. If someone would have a solution to my problem please.
