Replacement of the filtering air cleaner element

Replacement of the filtering air cleaner element (each 25 000 km of a run or times in 12 months)

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Replacement of the filtering element is made regularly according to the schedule of routine maintenance of the car. During operation of the car the condition of the filter has to be checked rather often, in particular in the conditions of strongly dusty area.
2. On models without turbo-supercharging the air cleaner is fixed in a back part of a motive compartment, on models with a turbo-supercharging - in right (see schemes of placement of components in a motive compartment at the beginning of the present Chapter the Section General information about settings and adjustments).
3. Give a fixing bolt / release spring clamps of fastening of a cover of the air cleaner. Disconnect all hoses impeding the implementation of the procedure and uncover, - try not to allow falling in the air cleaner of foreign objects.
4. Take the filtering element and wipe internal walls of a casing with pure rags.
5. Visually estimate a condition of the filtering element, in case of strong pollution make replacement. The filter which is moderately hammered with dust can be blown compressed air (through a back surface).

When using compressed air surely put on goggles! The filtering element made of wax paper cannot be washed out with use of oils or solvents if it is not possible to achieve satisfactory result by a purge, make replacement.

In order to avoid premature wear of internal components of the engine and emergence of flashes in a final path do not operate the car with the taken air filter!

6. Establish the replaceable filtering element, track correctness of its landing in a casing.
7. Put into place a cover and fix it by spring clamps.
