Replacing the Car Engine Air Filter

Model: Renault Scenic - Years 1996-2003
Part: Air filter

The air filter serves to filter the air that is drawn from outside into the combustion chamber. If this filter does not function properly, external agents can enter and unfortunately compromise engine efficiency. This filter is located in the engine compartment. This operation should be carried out with the engine off to avoid burns. The engine filter is usually found high up in the bonnet. It can come in various sizes, although it is typically cylindrical and covered by a casing. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws securing it to the structure, and then remove it carefully.
