Hi guys.

A while ago I had a look at the cabin filter located under the passenger footwell area. To release the air filter the guide said to push the tap and pull away the air filter guard. I couldn't see what I was doing very well and managed to snap the clip which the guard attaches to.

So now when I put the cabin fans on the air doesn't flow through the air filter and comes out at the footwell because filter guard isn't there anymore (due to not being able to be secured anymore.)

My questions are:

1. Is this doing any damage to the engine or any other parts on my vehicle.
2. Can I do anything to fix this.

P.s. Haven't got a photo of underside of the footwell at the moment but have attached a photo of the filter guard. This is in one piece but the clip on the underside of the football is snapped so it can't be secured.

This is the guide I followed which should highlight what I'm talking about.

Any help much appreciated .
