Removing the Engine Air Filter Box

Model: Fiat Punto MK 1, 176 - Years 1993-1999
Part: Air filter

The video shows the removal of the entire filter box secured to the throttle body with two nuts: once the nuts are unscrewed and the vapour recovery hoses are disconnected, simply pull upwards on the filter box to remove it completely. Cleaning and/or replacing the engine air filter is maintenance that should not be overlooked as it significantly affects the engine's efficiency in terms of performance and fuel consumption. It is advisable to periodically check the cleanliness of the filter, assessing both the possibility of simply dusting it and replacing it with a new one.
