Clio mk3 dci oil filter removal

[Austin-182]

Can anyone advise me on the best way to get to the oil filter in a mk3 2010 clio dci. Looks to be hid right under everything. Usually the oil filters are easily accessed in clio’s so have they just made the mk3 really complicated!?

As far as i can remember, you just need to remove the air inlet hose and you should be able to get to it. Its not the best location. To make it any easier you'd have to strip the front end off, and even then it wouldn't be much better.
I had a 2006 dci, so things might have changed on the newer ones

I had one today, inlet pictured just pulls off and you can get an oil filter removal tool straight on, 30 second job
