Air filter replacement

OK, i took the undertray off today to prepare the car (1.4 petrol) for its annual service tomorrow and while i was under the car i had a quick look under to see how the air filter is removed. Now to me it looks like the bottom of the filter housing is held on by two screws/bolts, can anyone who has changed the air filter confirm if this is correct or not?

Thanks

yes, remove the two bolts.
You can then remove the plastic cap on the bottom of the filter housing.
The filter slides out easily.

In true Haynes style, refit is reversal of above procedure.


One other observation, on my A2 (1.6fsi) these two bolts are amongst many on the car that are not aging well. I mean ok, they are not as b****red as the rear numberplate light screws, but they are rotting. I have bolts that are 100% exposed on my 13 year old V40 that are ageing better.
