Technical Fiorino Mk3 Air Box Removal

[fiatfior]

Can anyone give a incline as how to remove the Air Filter box off a 2012 Fiorino.
I've had it since new and now at 59k I want to oil the glow plugs before attempting replacement hopefully next week as it was knocking on the very cold -5 mornings.
I got the 4 air-filter screws and one of the rubber mount alllen screws out, but can see another rubber mount behind the maf sensor. Problem is I can't get to that one.


So basically what's the best and safest way to remove the maf sensor.


Also any diagrams on this site??

Quite different to my old puntos..


Mounts are similar.. but pipework isnt

Thanks Hekel great info. I didn't really want to disturb the larger 'ear' clips at the maf sensor. I'll give that a go this weekend & put oil to the glow plugs.

I changed glow plugs myself 2 weeks ago, you dont need to remove turbine and dpf. Just remove engine cover and use flex socket to unscrew, mine plugs come off easily.

Ref your great photo. The "EAR" clips I was referring to was the 2 large (approx. 2 1/2 inch diameter ) clips on the LHS of your photo, one above and one below where you show which sensor to unclip.


These clips I now know don't require to be removed...…..


Also, do the Glow Plugs take a 9mm deep socket?

9mm not on my older 1.3.. thats an odd size..

8mm probably on mine.

Ive got some info in tech talk..and GP sections
