Service
mr v6 hat geschrieben:A filter often overlooked when servicing, but does need to be replaced. All the air entering the cabin is drawn through this filter before you breathe it in! You replace your air filter when that becomes dirty & clogged, so why not this one too.
I bought mine from Peugeot with trade discount, normally £15. Part number: 6447.S5
Tools needed:
1 x small flathead screwdriver.. That's it :lol:
Time taken: 5 minutes.
Here is the filter out of the box, also a side on view showing the 'skirt' edge (bottom) & the plastic part around the top edge:
Here's the 2 plastic tabs holding down the scuttle panel on the passenger side, you don't need to do anything to the drivers side:
With a small flathead screwdriver, push it into the tab & push the handle of the driver towards the windscreen. This will release the tab, do this to both of them:
With both the tabs released, you can lift the scuttle panel up, showing the filter:
Note the plastic pegs on the top edge of the filter & the gaps on the housing where the pegs must locate when fitting:
Old filter against the new one :shock: :
Now, you can wiggle the filter in & out with a bit of persuasion, but to make it easier you can slide the scuttle panel to the right, this will fully release it. Doing this can make re-fitting it a little fiddly, but nothing major:
Filter now in place. Left & right hand side pegs fitted in their slots:
This is where you refit the scuttle panel (if you chose to remove it). There are a few hook type fittings along the back of the scuttle panel which hook onto the metal part of the bodywork. Make sure they're clipped on securely (3 I think), 1 on the left, middle & on the right:
Once they're securely on, slide the panel to the left where it meets & slots into the drivers side panel. It should join perfectly & the panel shouldn't sag. If it does sag, then you've not fitted back properly:
Now clip the black plastic tabs back into place as they were in picture 3 above, before you released them.
That's it. The first time you put the blowers on, you may get a bit of dust blow out because you've been messing about.
