Replacing the Air Filter on the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Air filter

To keep the engine efficient and control fuel consumption on the Citroen C3, you must periodically replace the air filter. To do this, open the bonnet, disconnect the intake pipe from the filter box, and, using a T25 Torx spanner, unscrew the two screws that secure the cover. Lift it after unlocking the retaining clip to remove the old filter element, clean the inside of the box with a vacuum cleaner, and insert the new filter, ensuring the rubber edge fits well. Reposition the cover and tighten the two screws, and finally, refit the intake pipe onto its fitting.
