Guide to Maintaining the Fabric Air Filter

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Air filter

The video guide shows how to maintain the fabric sports air filter for your car.
The only tools required are a cleaner and a lubricant for air filters, available from your trusted retailer.
As shown, after shaking the filter panel, possibly with the help of a brush (never use compressed air), apply the cleaning product to both sides. Once the product has done its job, rinse the entire panel and leave it to dry upside down and in the shade.
When the panel is completely dry, lubricate the filter carefully as shown in the video.
The panel shown in the video is from a Fiat Punto.
