Hi all,

Absolute engine noob here... Should arrive in a couple of days and I haven't looked under the bonnet yet to check.

The airbox just unscrews or unhinges?:dapprove:

just unscrew

very easy, Should have got a K&N panel off Ebay, £35 free delivery.

1.6 is harder than the 172/182. the airbox is at the back of the engine

 

[Lee-182]

oooo nasty

I will have a butchers tomorrow... No doubt it will still be easier to reach than the dipstick lol

I didn't think of K&N I don't know why :S Always related them to cone filters. Alot of people on ZSOC said Green filters were up to scratch aswell so just hopped onto Ktec who have good offer on.

I really like the "green" colour youve got your car sprayed in bythe way. Big fan if its actually yours :s

green and k&n are the same just dif colour cotton.

I personally think any cotton filter is better than foam, Foam filters are always layerd in stages fine to think, and alway oily. imo tho

 

[Domobaby]

Yeh I read alot about cotton being the preferred.

Cheers for the help mate

I prefer cotton gauze myself. Not so popular on clios though. Half a hp more restrictive obviously

Lol well ofcourse im expecting to get atleast 5bhp from this mod...

I find it ever harder to express sarcasm on a forum these days

Got the filter through today.. Smaller than I thought

I only had a quick look just know when I got in from work, but is it possible just to pop off the top of the airbox? Doesnt seem to have any screws around it :s

 

[Domobaby]

Anyone?? please

Remove the rubber band on the resinator box, pull that off the airbox. Then undo the two torx 20 screws at the top and swing the top downwards and out. Change filter then rebuild.
