Technical Air filter case removal

[philip17]

Hi, How do I remove the main casing in front of the housing for the sir filter. I want to have easier access to the glow plugs for their replacement. Thanks my vehicle is a 2004 Doblo 1.3 multijet

Hi

Looks like this:

With this style.. wriggle out the corrugated hose end

Then unclip..unbolt.. the airflow sensor


The large hoses have rubber grommets onto plastic spikes..


Pull up firmly to lift off spikes..

There is a rubber mount Rod at the rear of engine too

Hi, Thanks very much for your reply and solution with the photo. It was those spike fixings that were baffling me. Somebody must have had problems with this before as the case is cracked/broken so I will need to repair that. Will take it off today, thanks again.

In my photo

The Gearbox end mounting point ..and a section of the plastic cover is missing


I bought other cars later.. and discovered 'the Factory look'

Looks like the one in your photo is broken in the same place as mine!

Job done. Even the glow plugs came out easily. Thanks
