Well,

Just got new air filter for 00' 320D, went to change it and I cant seem to get the acoustic panel on the engine, nearest the cabin to lift off,there seems to be a screw at the back holding it. The cabin air filter housing is directly over this and makes it very awkward to look in and see whats catching.there is only one screw visable on the cabin air filter housing that looks like it could be removed but I'd guess theres more than 1 screw holding the cabin filter housing.

ANy suggestions?has anyone done this?is it complicated removing cabin filter housing?

 

Appreciate any help howsoever minor.

A bit bitchy to remove, take your time and make sure you put it back properly.
