carosio Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Anyone to give instructions on how to remove air cleaner box from said car without breaking plastic clips and mouldings etc. I presume that the parts that are attached to the front metalwork need to be unclipped but it is not obvious on how to do it. http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv12/carosio/ka2.jpg http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv12/carosio/Ka1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carosio Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Do you want to change the airfilter or remove the airbox? Just check or change the air filter, the cars done 10.5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Right, see thems spring-loaded clips in the pictures you gots? You unclips em and the casing splits in two. Your air filter is inside, it's a yellowy concertinery paper element, usually with a rubber edging. If you loosen the big jubilee clip on the big black rubber hose going into the lid and remove said hose, the box will be easier to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 ok, cant attempt it until tommorrow, but doesn't the bracket adjacent to the Phillips screw have to be manipulated as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
