Replacing Engine Air Filter

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Air filter

The engine air filter housing is located on the left side of the engine bay (when viewed from the front): once located, unscrew the clamp securing the intake pipe and disconnect it; then unscrew the screws securing the cover and remove the old filter. It is likely that there will be debris such as leaves inside the housing: remove them with a vacuum cleaner or compressed air, taking care that nothing falls into the intake ducts, insert the new filter, and refit the cover by tightening the securing screws; reattach the intake pipe and secure it with the clamp.
