Engine Air Filter Replacement

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: Air filter

The engine air filter housing (air box) is located directly above the engine: to replace it, simply unscrew the front fastening screws of the filter housing cover, remove the old filter, clean any dirt residue from the filter box, and fit the new one, ensuring the edges of the seal adhere perfectly; reposition the cover and tighten the fastening screws. When replacing the filter, you may also opt for a sports type filter which, in addition to improving performance, only requires cleaning and does not need to be replaced.
