Engine Air Filter Replacement

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra F - Years 1991-1998
Part: Air filter

The engine air filter housing is located at the front left (when viewed from the front); the cover is secured with spring clips: simply unclip the springs to lift the cover and remove the old filter housed within it. Once any debris in the housing is removed, fit the new filter ensuring the seal adheres correctly to the edge and reattach the cover with the respective springs. Removing and repositioning the cover may be slightly obstructed by the edge of the wing, but with a bit of patience, it can be done.

How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Volkswagen Golf

To perform this simple operation, first lift the bonnet. Then, remove the upper engine cover and the plastic side cover that protects the timing belt. To create more space for the job, you can remove components next to the engine, such as the coolant reservoir, the windscreen washer pipe, and the fuel filter. This will allow you to remove the lower engine cover and the right wheel for better access to the area where you will be working. Now, relieve the tension from the tensioner pulley and remove the belt for replacement.
