How to Change the Air Filter on a Citroen C4 MK1 Diesel

Model: Citroen C4 MK 1 - Years 2004-2010
Part: Air filter

In this video, we will see how to change the air filter on a Citroen C4 MK1 diesel: the air box is a black plastic container in a corner of the engine bay. Using a star screwdriver, unscrew the two screws securing the cover of the filter box, and with a flat screwdriver, loosen the clamp of the air duct entering the box; remove the cover and extract the filter from its seat. Clean the inside of the box from dust and impurities, then insert the new filter into its seat, ensuring that the rubber seal of the filter is correctly placed in its housing: essential for a perfect seal. Replace the cover, screw the two screws back in, and tighten the clamp of the air duct. Close the bonnet and you're done!
