Thank You all the answers! The biggest problem seems to be to remove the airfilter housing (backside of the housing in passengers side). It seems, that I`ll may need some special wrench because I can`t reach the bolt with my tools!

If you mean the plastic at the end of air intaketube the answer is yes! After that, I can see the airfilter, but I still need to remove the BIG plastic around the filter and the big plastic is fitted few (how many and where they are?)bolts, that I could not remove!

wow, honestly had no idea the air filter's location was different on a diesel - sorry for giving misleading info guys. 
This totally confirms my ignorance to diesels
