How to Replace Your Car's Air Filter

Model: Dodge Caliber MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Cabin air filter

The procedure for replacing the cabin air filter is straightforward; just follow the steps in this guide. The first step is to remove the dashboard trim; be careful as, in addition to the screws to unscrew, the trim is also clipped along its entire length. Carefully remove the trim while paying attention to the connection of the cigarette lighter. The cigarette lighter has a visible cable that must be disconnected. No further removal is necessary; you will see the hazard switch, but that should remain connected to the dashboard unless you want to replace it while changing the air filter. Otherwise, leave everything as it is. Now, locate the filter, pull it towards you in the same direction. The rest is straightforward; position the new air filter and follow the procedure in reverse.

Tips on How to Change the Glow Plugs on 1.3 MJT Engines

The 1.3 CDTI engine is used in many models from Fiat, Lancia, Opel, and Suzuki, making glow plug wear a common issue. The glow plugs are located at the front of the engine, just in front of the rocker cover. Simply remove the engine cover to locate them. A quick functionality check can be done by disconnecting the connector and gently touching the glow plug with an electric wire connected to the positive terminal of the battery: if a spark occurs, the glow plug is fine. A problem that may arise during replacement is that the glow plug may not unscrew. It is advisable to spray some penetrating oil and let it sit overnight before unscrewing it with an 8 mm socket. Before installing the new one, apply some special grease and do not exceed the torque specification.
