I hope you guys aren't getting sick of me to much but I really don't know much about cars but I am getting there very slowly. However I was just wondering where the air filter is located? I have been looking at the k&n air filter the one that's like a rectangle haha. But I don't understand where it would go under the bonnet so can anyone tell me where my air filter will be located pleeeease :yum:
Wait till you have removed the engine bay crap - like battery and radiator and bumpers etc - its like What the hell?
Anyway
That BIG black Circular thing with a pipe coming out the side going to the side of the car
Yea thats the airbox -
Removal is undone the clip holding the external pipe - 2x10mm Bolts and 1 spring retaining clip at the front
It simply pulls off then
But if your doing just an airfilter change or check
There are a series of like 12x Screws - Either they come out
Or are a pain galore and refuse to budge
pop em out - light taps around edges and it pops off - pull filter out
hoover box out - new filter in - screw it down in pattern so it sits flat (box method)
And your done
5mins
You can often get them for around a fiver on eBay (sometimes including the wallet, radio handbook, etc., and all the promotional bumf that originally came with the car...) -- although they don't seem to crop up that often, I'm afraid....
<trundles off to eBay; trundles back...>
Just had a quick peek: and £16.99 suddenly looks pretty good, actually... -- although why the Mk2b (2003 on) handbooks should be so much more expensive than the Mk2, I don't know.
So, after all that, ignore my first paragraph, and go for it... (especially if it contains all that extra stuff...)!
