1. A filter insert for being removably arranged in a filter housing, wherein the filter insert comprises a first actuator positioned at a first end of the filter insert, wherein the first actuator comprises an external contact surface defining a projection or recess,
wherein the projection or recess forms part of a structure with varying extension in an axial direction of the filter insert along a circumferential direction of the filter insert such that the first actuator is adapted for being actuated by a corresponding second actuator of a filter housing lid for controlling a relative axial movement between the filter insert and the filter housing lid and
wherein the filter insert further comprises a first guide arranged for engaging a corresponding second guide of the filter housing for guiding the filter insert relative to the filter housing during insertion of the filter insert into the filter housing,
wherein the first guide is separate from the first actuator and further axially spaced from the first actuator, wherein the filter insert comprises a first end panel at the first end of the filter insert and a second end panel at a second end of the filter insert, the second end panel includes a tubular structure, wherein the first guide is an integral part of or is rigidly connected to the tubular structure.
