Video tutorial

On the Citroen C3, to change the engine air filter, you need to work on the plastic filter box connected to the intake pipe. In the video, the hood is opened and the focus is immediately on the cover of the filter box: first, the closure points are released, then the cover is lifted just enough to access the filter.

At this point, on the Citroen C3, the old filter is pulled out from its seat and the difference with the new one is clearly visible, which is prepared for installation. The new filter is inserted into the box in the same direction, ensuring it fits well along the entire perimeter, so it stays in place without folds and without leaving gaps.
