Replacing the Air Filter on a Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Air filter

To replace the air filter on a Citroen C3, let's begin with the disassembly. Open the car door, pull up the lever to open the engine compartment located at the bottom left of the dashboard, and lift the bonnet, securing it with the prop rod. Open the air kit (unscrew the securing screws around the perimeter), remove the cover of the filter box, and take out the worn air filter. Insert a new filter into the designated housing (ensuring it fits snugly against the walls). Finally, reattach the cover of the air box and tighten the screws. Close the bonnet after maintenance.
