Engine Air Filter Replacement

Model: Chevrolet Kalos MK 1 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Air filter

Replacing the engine air filter is extremely simple and does not require special precautions. Open the front bonnet and locate the engine air filter housing (air box) on the passenger side, near the strut tower. Unscrew the screws securing the filter box cover to lift it and remove the old filter. Ensure there is no dirt residue inside the box and place the new filter, making sure the gasket fits perfectly against the edges, then reposition the cover and secure it with the screws.
