Filter problems

[kaven]

I have bought a new air filter and it doesn't fit inside the original housing for the standard filter on my 1.2 8v is it possible to remove the filter and put the housing back on and put my new filter on the pipe running into the housing

What have you bought? A come filter or a panel filter?
I think the come filters need an adapter plate on the 1.2 engines because the outlet is squared? Correct me if I'm wrong

No I want to remove the original filter and fit the cone filter to the pipe I can see

 

[Flat Eric]

Isn't the inlet pipe going onto the manifold squared though?

 

[kaven]

It's a round pipe think it's the inlet pipe

 

[kaven]

In fact it's definitely a round inlet pipe

 

[Flat Eric]

Then why won't it fit?

 

[kaven]

It will fit on the inlet pipe but not were the original air filter goes

 

[Flat Eric]

Too big of a filter?

 

[kaven]

Think Am going to forget the filter to much just to fit
