How to change the air filter of the Citroen C4 Picasso 1

Model: Citroen C4 Picasso MK 1 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Air filter

In this video we see how to change the air filter of the Citroen C4 Picasso 1: to access the filter it is necessary to unscrew the brake fluid reservoir with an 8 mm wrench; we unscrew the two screws and gently move the reservoir to one side. We remove the engine cover, and disconnect the air inlet duct, disconnect the turbocharger tube by loosening the clamp with a flathead screwdriver and then with pliers, take the two ends of the support ring to unlock it. Disconnect the electrical connector of the airflow meter, then unscrew the three screws of the air box; we should not try to remove them, as they are designed to remain screwed to the cover. Lift the cover, remove the filter, clean the container well, insert the new filter, paying attention to the mounting direction, reassemble the cover, the airflow meter connector, the turbocharger duct, the main air inlet duct, put back the engine protection and reposition the brake fluid reservoir. Operation completed.
